In the business world the amenity fee would be called a sunk cost, which is a cost that is incurred regardless of use. Some leverage the cost (get extensive use from the diversified portfolio of available amenities) and others get little to no use. Part time residents typically get extensive use of the sunk cost for certain periods and zero use the rest of the time. Nobody should complain about the amenity fee, everyone should have been aware of it before buying and the fee is incredibly low for the vast amount available amenities. I would challenge anyone to find another retirement community that offers more or better amenities for the same or cheaper cost.
