Some would, some wouldn't. But the amenity fee pays for more than Rec Centers and exec courses---doesn't it include the landscaping, flowers in RB's, fountain maintenance, pool maintenance, tree trimming etc.? These are things that would be hard to bill for by usage.
Some things benefit the community as a whole, not just those that use a particular part----otherwise we could argue the school system should be paid for by usage, not property taxes. Or worse yet, the police should be paid for by those that don't own their own personal arsenal.
