Maggie,

As I recall the objections were overcome when we had a salon (a more
informal gathering with limited or no facilitation) where we had a great and
respectful discussion about our hopes and concerns and points were brought
up that hadn't been discussed previously.

I'd say a few of the points that were brought up that had the greatest sway
were the anedotal evidence about house sales made difficult because of the
lack of a healthy condo reserve fund (and that having one is a good selling
point for resales;) and that the reserve fund was cheaper than any of the
broker fees that anyone in the group was about to face.

I believe, in the end, we made a really good decision and that we were all
really behind it.

I can't help but speculate about how this process could have been improved
using Sociocracy for decision making.  How were the two objections
overcome?
