'HOA wants to increase [dues] by 94%': Florida condo owner asks for advice for skyrocketing HOA fees

Some people refuse to buy any property that's on an HOA-owned territory for reasons just like this. A Florida condo owner is wondering what to do after their terrible HOA decided it would nearly double the monthly dues! 

It's tough out here for a lot of Americans. You can work multiple jobs and still be barely scraping by. This person, u/BearlyGerry, is doing just that: working a full-time gig plus a part-time job on the side just to make ends meet. But their HOA (homeowners association) has decided to increase their budget, and they're making that the problem of all the condo residents. 

In the comments, people both commiserated with this Floridian and provided some good advice. One warned that since this is Florida, buildings are more prone to breaking and needing repairs. Even though no one wants to pay for thousands of dollars worth of insurance increases and structural studies, someone has to. It doesn't seem fair for the residents of the building to have to foot a massive bill all on their own. This HOA is demanding a crazy amount of money from the condo owners, and unfortunately, there's not much to be done about it besides moving to a place where an HOA isn't in charge. 

Up next, these people had some hilarious misspellings, like one person who wrote, "It is a very small issue in the gran stephen things."
