TV is a big place with a tremendous amount of amenities. The developer doesn't pay for the amenities, the homeowners (and tenants via rent) do. As costs increase, so do amenity fees and don't forget the reserves that must be in place for replacement roofs, road and path maintenance, etc. I've yet to live in a development that had a homeowners association that didn't go up annually. I consider it the nature of the beast.

I'm not a fan of the Morse family, mainly because I've never been a fan of benevolent dictators. At the same time, I accept they have a right to make a profit from their concepts and hard work. This time around, though, I don't think greed is a factor. Rather, I think it is simple need.
