It`s going to be a fun time here when the Developer turns everything over .
I can hear it now : " We don`t need those flowers , those fountains , all that landscaping along the roadways ".
" We don`t need the common areas along Buena Vista , Morse et al mowed more than once a month a most " .
" We don`t need to water the common areas ". " The trash for the Squares only need be collected every two weeks ".
And on and on it will go .

Actually, it will be just the opposite, if condo owners associations are an indicator of what will come. Special interests will continue to press the elected officials to add their pet amenity/project/activity/facility/service. Over time, the amenity fees will increase, user fees will increase, and special assessments will be more and more a part of the budget. A good example is the AAC responsible for spending the $40 million settlement. They are considering spending up to $3 million just for land for a new recreation center. I think that is where this new indoor pool is coming from. They are getting requests for platform tennis, golf course, lighted baseball fields and other amenities.
