Change is coming to Glen Iris Lofts…

No one who reads the Glen Iris Board meeting minutes is going to walk away with anything other the clear and sobering assessment that our Board leadership isn’t much interested in change of any kind.  Precious little time is spent on discussion of how things may be improved – unless of course one counts the time the Board leadership spends shooting down suggestions for improvements.

The list of resident demands for change that have gone unheeded is long and distinguished.  Whether it’s the enclosure of the lower Phase II car park that the homeowners who park there were willing to pay for themselves, the constant clamor for the installation of security cameras on the property to do something – anything – to address the serious property crime problem we have struggled with from day one and still continue to struggle with nearly ten years later and whose rate of occurrence hasn’t decreased at all, or whether it’s a guest parking policy that doesn’t really match the ‘needs curve’ of guest parking accommodation by homeowners.  And there are countless other issues or ‘hot buttons’ that various homeowners have that fail to be addressed – or even considered – year after year.  Most who are knowledgeable about the political realities here at Glen Iris will tell you the simple truth: it doesn’t really matter what you or any other homeowner wants, if Kit doesn’t want it, it ain’t gonna happen.
But, finally, there is some good news for everyone that calls Glen Iris Lofts 'home'.  Although the (Continued...)
Blog is barely more than thirty days old, it has helped focus and galvanize a wellspring of support for change.  Many of your neighbors and fellow homeowners have already reached out and decided to become part of the solution – and in sufficient numbers to ensure that change is coming to Glen Iris Lofts.  So if you have been thinking about lending your support to our cause, now is the time to get off the fence and be a part of the solution.  Because we’ve all spent way too much time without change of any kind coming to our community -  with many homeowners even bearing the silent burden of feeling like they are living in somebody else’s home.  And, if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that that’s not what our community is about.
Join your neighbors in support of change by sending an e-mail to gil@go.to with the simple subject line ‘Count me in’ – and be a part of where Glen Iris Lofts is going.
