I've seen it happen. It also happened at AAA when someone left their car. It got vandalized while they were on one of the bus trips and they wanted AAA to pay their deductible. Years ago we went on a cruise. We got the bus at Walmart and decided to leave our van up in the very front of the parking lot. Our van was stolen. You can't believe how many people said I should try to sue Walmart.

People seem to forget that rec center parking lots are for people actually using the rec centers. Our fees are not going to guarantee that everyone can do everything they want whenever they want. If people were hired to figure out what parking lot is available for every bus trip, I'd hate to hear the outcry when fees go up to pay for this service. All this whining is giving me a headache. My 4-year-old grandson is now having a tantrum because I wouldn't pick up the car he dropped. Sounds like a perfect future villager.

Not much different than people meeting in a back parking lot to carpool to another destination.

I don't believe I am conflating two different issues. And when parking lots become full and the club member gets what they are paying their amenities fee for, others are denied what their fee is supposed to cover. This is the same issue of going to the square and roping off 20 seats for your friends. This denies others the access to those seats who pay the exact same amenities fee. If the squares and rec centers had lots of excess parking than it could work. They don't so it has the potential to create problems for others.

You are ignoring the issue of having permits. If you are saying that all parking lots are always filled to capacity, then I think there is a little smoke being blown. It is not even close to the same situation as roping off seats. To bring that up tells us that your mind is made up and to hell with a rational discussion. |

I also have a problem with buses picking up people for a day trip, or outside bus companies dropping people off at squares, country clubs, etc. People like to go places, and many people don't drive long distances any more. It's fun to go with a group. Where would the best place to leave for a trip?

I estimated there were about 350 parking spots behind the sales office in Brownwood. If the bus pick up is in that parking lot who would benefit?
The sales force and tour speakers who tell the potential buyer[s] about the day trips. The coffee shops before the trip for the early birds that want to bring coffee and donuts on board, The restaurants who feed the people after the trip who don't feel like cooking. And the person who rides the bus and kinda, sorta helped pay for the parking lot maybe a little. [that's a push] |

And it is very close to the seat roping issue. It is a select group of people wanting what they want for themselves and disregard the use of common parking lots for others for what they were designed to be used. The more I think about it, it is the exact same issue. And I went back and read all my posts and only saw rational discussion.

WHERE do you who want these bus rides go, that make you feel so intense about it??? A shuttle to the airport is very important I would say and a real need to all who live here.
