Good Neighbors

When you have 32 neighbors living in close proximity, occasionally there are strong disagreements that aren't resolved quickly between those involved. Recently the condominium association put into place a formal process for handling rules violations. Although legal action would only arise in extreme situations, it'd be important to have fairly gathered and documented evidence and offered sufficient chance at more peaceful resolution. This month we got our first two written complaints. The next step is to hold a hearing, inviting each party to attend, which happened tonight. It worked wonderfully! The neighbors agreed quickly to a mutual solution. The Board president did a super job facilitating the conversation. What could have been a tense confrontation ended up with one of the most festive atmospheres of the year. Who says there's no God?
