Yest we forget the controversy involving Stone Crest which in my mind is still unresolved.
This is not an issue about I got mine and you ain't going to get yours or about exclusivity if you will. Its about a planned community with rules. Rules which state that for a resident holding a home deed and paying a monthly fee grants them amenities per household.
suppose you own a pool. You set rules conditions etc so that family and friends can share the joy of your pool. However, suddenly neighbors, then workmen begin showing up but you do nothing and then before long there are more people ....................
A common refrain you hear is I'm paying for it and I am going to get my share and what they mean is more than that . OK fair enough just don't do it by breaking the rules or fudging
Or in Stone Crest's situation, but the marketing people told me I could buy here and still have the village lifestyle
and then we have all that discussion from another thread about the rental policy here
I like rules I bought here with the understanding that rules would be enforced In fact I would have hesitated to move to Florida except for the written rules of TV
The only amenity I use is golf and I do that sparingly. Same with my wife;albeit she goes to one exercise class at the rec center
That Greek saying "moderation in all things" well we have people out there that will tell you they like a lot of moderation and the freer the better
I do not write without compassion and understand the virtue of reasonable accommodations.. but I am a pragmatist and understand that one day I too will have my license pulled, etc and will have to adapt to my situation..that's the human experience
