I don't play softball, why should I have to pay for the field maintenance?

I don't play pickelball, why should I have to pay for the court maintenance?

I don't play basketball, why should I pay for the court maintenance?

I don't shoot air guns or do archery, why should I have to pay for the range maintenance?

I don't use the rec centers, why should I have to pay for the maintenance, upkeep, utilities, and staffing?

The list goes on and on, take your pick. The bottom line is that it is a package deal for the amenities, you don't pick and choose and pay for things piecemeal. If it was piecemealed, you couldn't afford to live here and there would be very few amenities.
