I have found over my years in OPA that the above is one of the biggest problems in Ocean Pines. Address it and one will be hearing the old adage about micro managing.  In my opinion if you can't get the little things right you will never get the big ones. There is supposedly a push on OPA appearance but then we see obvious violations like junk cars on blocks, school buses parked in driveways, garbage cans left at the curb for weeks, over 50 bags of leaves sitting at the curb weeks before being removed. We need to go back to the days when each Director was assigned a section of the Pines to report on at each Board meeting. Perhaps then they would at least take the time to look around at the community. So much time is spent debating reserve studies etc. they forget what needs to really be done. Everyone could agree that the Beach Club bathrooms need to be addressed but the issue gets caught up in whether we will build a multi story parking garage. OPA can suggest building a multimillion facility on 589 for a new police, fire and admin building but can't decide what to do with the Country Club which is a moldy embarrassing facility.
