Condos have operated successfully for hundreds of years. Being an officer is sometimes a struggle but good officers make good condominiums.
Anyone who lives in our society and champions pure democracy might benefit by spending six months as a condominium officer.
My personal experience is that roughly one-third of condominium owners are normal, one-third are mad (literally clinically insane) and the last third too dumb to participate [Which is, now that I think about it, about the same as my experience with the general population]. Nonetheless all do participate at one time or another and so those of us who are normal get to view and learn. That is democracy in its fullest form.
The above, to some degree, may help explain why the USA's founding fathers opted for a representative democracy rather than a pure democracy. Perhaps Hamilton or Franklin et al once served on a condominium board!8-))
