Default Indoor Pool coming

I do not play softball, but I am delighted that those facilities are being well-maintained so that they can be fully-enjoyed"



So I really don't understand why those who won't use an indoor pool are reluctant to help pay for it. We are a community here, so we must expect to pay communal expenses.


Except that we currently do not ALL contribute to maintain ALL the facilities. If you wish to swim at certain country club pools, you pay extra for that benefit. If you wish to play on country club golf courses, you pay for that benefit. If you wish to use gym equipment at certain Rec centers, you pay for that privilege. I certainly don't mind having an indoor pool, but let those who want it pay for it. Heck, I don't even use the pools I'm subsidizing now.
