I walk many of the exec courses with a pull cart monthly. Easy walk in the parks. Your concerns MAYBE valid if someone decides to carry their bag in mid afternoon heat but those folks probably shouldn't be out in the heat anyway.
I think the OPs math is a bit off. Based on his calcs, his amenity fee is in excess of $200 per month. Mine are still quite a bit south of that number monthly.
