Best is yet to come for Palermo



Hello, dear Palermo-ites, what a wonderful day in the community, blue skies, people using floaties in the pool, boys walking their dogs, neighbors talking in the street. Much to be thankful for here in our community, with the coolest design in Palm Springs. Sad that we have to put up with bad management and an absentee board. But the emails I've been receiving show that neighbors are coming together - and the board canceling the Wednesday meeting without notice actually had a silver lining. Some of the guys tell me they met on their own last Wednesday evening to share thoughts, and want to have a community meeting regardless of whether the board is there. We must rely on ourselves when we can't even get "the little things" fixed in a timely manner. One resident has resorted to putting signs on burnt-out lights, and still management hasn't replaced the bulbs. How many more days will it take? Miss Penny Lane says: Palermo's problems are easy to solve if we had leadership and communication.

Wow this is great, it is what community spirit is all about. Coming together as one for a common goal. This is indeed a very beautiful place to live..I feel proud everytime I drive through those gates.. " Palermo Pride"

Luv this place said...

I agree with all the above, too. But why is it so difficult for simple, little rules to be follow. Yesterday someone used the weights from the gym to prop open the gym door in violation of the rules, exposing the gym and clubhouse to more thefts. I too wold like a community meeting. How do you get the message out?

YES PALERMO IS GREAT. WE LOVE IT HERE TOO. AND YES, THE "PROBLEMS" ARE FIXABLE IF THERE WERE ACTIVE BOARD MEMBERS LIVING HERE AND MAYBE AN ON-SITE MANAGER.
