Disloyalty

Disloyalty is a terrible thing. It is being unfaithful and not being true to the people you serve, or the people you should be when you have the power to hurt others and/or their property. I witnessed an act of disloyalty at my condominium for the last four days, by our "in good faith" elected Board of Directors. When you elect a condominium board you do so with faith that it will act in the owners' best interests. You trust the members will be fair, loyal, and dedicated to doing the best job they can to all who are concerned especially when you pay association dues. You expect them to emotionally, sincerely, and with empathy commit themselves to take care of the owners' interests the best they can. An injustice has happened to us. Our secluded community, that could hardly be seen from the street, has been striped away of tress that were not trimmed, but hacked at and destroyed by a "crew of laborers" who in no way had any sense of somewhat retaining nature's beauty. I was told two days before it was to be done, and that trimming of the tress was posted, but I am not the only one who didn't see it. As a reason, I was told "they just have to be trimmed and the board has made the decision and can do what they want." Apparently our neighbors asked to have some trees cut, but why so many and why were the trees all around the building involved? I have no idea why the board members did not even have the courtesy to wait ten days until the annual board meeting to tell us what they planned on doing. We have listened to buzzing, chopping, and branches being cut into bits and put into machines for four days and this isn't a very  big place, only 25 units, and now I heard it is going to go on for another three days. I understand this very board, which has held the power for many years, may not run this year. Do they think it is fair to leave the damage they are responsible for to other owners? They need to at least clean up what they have done, and this tree business is not the only thing that needs addressing. We have had barbed wire on the East side of our building for a year, and now the length of barbed wire has quadrupled. It is almost as if we live in a prison camp, and ramshackle buildings and falling down fences from next door have been exposed creating ugly views. I can see the pillage from where I write this. I am afraid to look at the West side of the condo, and from the North side I heard the "crew" attack the beautiful pine trees all day yesterday outside my bedroom window. I think the board members have gone too far this time, have not done right by us, and must have no sense of what is peaceful and beautiful. So let this be a lesson in disloyalty that has left scars literally and figuratively.
