Condo associations are the most slept-on reality show TV idea
From rain barrels and broken pipes to overgrown lawns and storage unit mysteries, condo board members go out of their way to be difficult
Condo boards would be amazing reality TV. I don’t know why no one has made this into a series like “Real Housewives” or “Love & Hip Hop.” After one casual glance at a Reddit board from condo owners and homeowners association members complaining about power-tripping condo boards, it’s more than obvious that there is some interest there. The only problem with a reality show based on condo boards is that a sizable amount of the viewing audience would spend 99% of the show wondering one thing: “How did this small issue get this big?”
It seems like that’s how all condo board versus condo owner arguments start. In this Reddit post, a unit owner noticed a leaking water heater and a broken pipe. While one would think the average condo board would investigate this to fix the pipe and the leak, and avoid a higher water and sewage bill, this board chose only to say, “Thanks.”
Wow, super helpful.

Yahoo! Life had their own ideas about how to resolve wasted water usage: collecting shower water and creating rain barrels in your yard, along with a few other ideas.
I shook my head as soon as I saw “rain barrel.” I know the chaos that that suggestion will bring. In fact, that one topic led to a huge argument, a drink thrown and “hippie” debate.
