More online findings: a youtube channel on the bad condition of the community, with a dedicated gmail account.
Interesting with current residents creating negative reviews and posts, they don't think it'll have repercussions and scare off buyers? Especially when they declare they will be happy...
HOA documents:

One fewer buyer competitor atleast?
