wheels of justice grind slowly in some cases. some cases when perpetrator pleads out they can get right to their prison sentence very quickly within 6 months or so.  

Generally most of us aren't going to go through the guilty party's profile and take down everything that qualifies because it takes a lot of time and effort, and most threads have an extremely short shelf life - no one is going to remember it or see it a couple of days from now.

Personally, I wouldn't spend money on an attorney because 1) I think the covenants/restrictions can sensibly be used against STRs and 2) because the HOA potentially has deep pockets if the officers decide to fight because they can pass the cost of the fight to the home owners.I would reach out to the officers to get their sentiments and to plead my case, and I would start building my case with the other homeowners. 

Although I am not a legal expert and am not familiar with Michigan state laws, I think a partition could be helpful if it leads to pleading your case in front of a judge who can ultimately decide.

As the bad apples make everyone look bad and be presumed guilty of malfeasance, which ultimately means less investment $$$ and longer due diligence cycles and legal costs. 

Be very polite, plead ignorance and stress your desire to make everything legal.

Even if I were sued, I document everything and obey the law, so I won't be found guilty.

I'm guilty myself sometimes... but it's a business, so make business decisions.

We're all guilty of it, but I do agree the OP doing it is a sham.No one is avoiding your zooms cause we're scared, we're avoiding them cause we don't respect you.
