They justify this as a “first come first serve” system. There are 60 docks and the policy permits all members to transfer “their” common property docks. On average one dock turns over to a person on the waitlist each year. The last person on the waitlist has an estimated 130 year wait time. Positions on the wait list are not transferable.

Do other HOAs have similar policies?
Fascinating. Leaving whether "first come, first serve" is fair and just focusing on the interpersonal dynamic--a democratic group has agreed that 1/3 of it's member should have docks in perpetuity and 2/3's should never have docks.

Put your newborn granddaughter on that waitlist!
