Suggestion: if you have a message board for comments and concerns, it would be polite to actually have someone in charge respond and acknowledge the posts.  Or is this, too, another example of how serious our association is about the concerns of the residents?

Right on!!! No one cares. they collect and that's it.

[As I see it.]

The condition of some of the houses at Walnut Ridge Estates, and the gross failure of the property manager and Walnut Ridge Homeowners Association to guarantee, enforce and provide the promised services and standards which they contract with and force residents to pay a monthly fee, has clearly resulted in the decline of what was once a thriving community, to now a place which is quickly becoming an encroaching ghetto. Property values have plunged. Buildings have fallen into disrepair, sale signs give way to boarded up windows. The finality of the association's gross failure(s) to provide the services, guarantees and standards which they promise in the Handbook, is a neighborhood which is quickly becoming a “slum, a ghetto, plagued with crime, rodents, disease and, above all, crushing, inescapable poverty”.
There are abandoned cars, many with expired registration and inspection stickers, which the owners park in the spaces that are meant for guest, knowing their casrs will NOT be towed as they should be according to the WRE rules and regulations Other people have three and four cars, which they park in the guest spaces with impunity. Leaves, trash, dog feces all over. Dilapidated houses that desperately need repairs are ignored to the point that rodents have taken up residence, whereby presenting a health risk. Maintenance of the common grounds is deplorable. Snow removal is a joke. Often you can't get out of the parking area without sliding into the street, only to find the streets are cleared of the snow, when the development is still snow/ice covered. Annoying and continuously barking dogs which begin early in the morning until late at night. Vandalism of cars and property in an effort to racially and ethnically intimidate people. Unruly and unsupervised children are allowed to run around screaming and causing disturbances. Houses where there are far too many people living in them. As a direct result of these and other issues, the property value of the houses at Walnut Ridge has drastically declined, leaving many home owners disgusted.

I agree I would also like to know if the association could repaint the parking lines they are faded and need updating. Also it would be nice if people who bring home work vehicles would park them somewhere else so that common ground parking is available for visitors. Also people living with others that have 3 or 4 cars also find other places to park they just assume they can park where they please

I agree with you, maybe it's time for the residents to take back this community.
 We received info about board positions, anyone volunteer?
 I would like to see us return to our original format, we had a board plus committees.
  But again, that still calls for more volunteers.
