Damn, what kind of decorations cost half a million dollars? I've never owned a condo, so is it common practice to charge the owners for repairs beyond what they already pay in the HOA?
These people at my building spent $250K on the renovation of a fucking party room 2014. These idiots came back in 2020 wanting another 150K to update the fucking party room. That was the last straw and I put my condo up for sale. Sold it at the list price in 2 days, 30 day close all cash offer.
The market is wild right now, glad it worked out for you. A quarter million dollars for a ROOM is beyond ridiculous. People are so frivolous with someone else's money. I worked at an organization that was funded by donations, and a meeting they bragged that they were going to make a housing unit that would take X amount of single men for so many millions of dollars. I did the math and it came out to over 300,000 for each STUDIO unit. Meanwhile my entire house and giant lot would have sold for half that.
