Those problems would include the fight that JOE is currently waging against turnover of the Watersound Beach HOA to the homeowner's, despite their announcement last October at the annual HOA meeting that they were planning turnover, and the fact that turnover according to Florida law occured on April 1, 2010. Should be a warning message to Water Color and other current AND potential JOE property owners with respect to what to expect from them in the future. They even refuse to attend arbitration as spelled out in the documents, and state that even should they eventually chose to attend arbitration, they don't believe it is necessary to send someone that actually has decision making authority. The initial owners at Watersound generally consisted of "flippers" that had no long-term interest in the community; however, there is a growing number of current owners, especially those that have bought in the past several years that have had enough of JOE's antics and are galvanizing to push back on a variety of fronts, including an education and PR campaign. Stay tuned.
