From a concerned owner. Interesting ideas. Would be a real draw in future.

Consider installing solar canopies in the open parking lots to generate electricity AND protect parked cars from sun, snow, rain,etc. (I have not yet proposed this.) See attachment. I am sure that there are residents who have other ideas but have found boards to be unreceptive or not willing to fully explore new ideas. When the balcony repair issue first arose I informed the board that the person they were about to choose as an architect/engineer was not a member of the American Institute of Architects and her firm was not a member of the Better Business Bureau. I had contacted Clark Construction and gotten the names of excellent companies to do the work, but the board would not listen. Another resident in building 2 doing independent research came up with the same name of the firm given to me by Clark Construction. Only recently has the board benefitted from a learning curve about balcony repair and chosen the best company. We wasted a great deal of money, in my opinion, because the imperious board would not listen. In my experience, the board will never admit that they made a mistake, ever.

1) Consider installing photovoltaic cells on the roofs to generate electricity (management's excuse was that a roofer said the roof would not hold the photovoltaic cells -- nonsense);
(2) Consider installing a water reclamation system for use on our grounds and perhaps toilets to save on our water bills; also 
(3) Consider forming our own cable company, installing our own satellite dishes, and paying ourselves the profits (I have not yet proposed this.);
