And as long as that tired cliche is out in the open, let's give it a thorough thrashing: Who provides the blood,sweat and tears needed to make allof the activities possible that create the mystical 'lifestyle' that allegedly brings people here in the first place?? You guessed it - volunteer RESIDENTS. Imagine what the amenity fees would be if those were paid positions or, conversely, how many of them would be eliminated because of the small numbers of people who would support them (even if they could find people who would run them)? Yes, the developer built the facilities and the CDD's maintain them, but, IMO, the RESIDENT volunteers make the amenities possible.........
