Either the low wages need to do away (our amenity fees go up) or we all struggle through this cycle of inflation. The thing is I don't recall prices of most things going back down all the way after any other cycle ends. So, I expect we need to look forward to/prepare for higher amenity fees next year.
I honestly don't know who pays for the rec centers budget, if it is part of the amenity fee then if you have a problem with how something is being done, that is up to your Community Development District.
I know it is all great fun to constantly blame the devs but sometimes it is not them.
Personally, I think the devs have done something no one has ever done before, creating a place like this that 20 years later looks brand new. That is no small feat. Most senior communities I visited before coming here look run down after less than a decade. The CDD idea of turning over management of the district to the residents is a great idea and allows the devs to focus on what they do best, building and selling 400 homes per month.

Don't let your favorite philosophy cloud your judgement about "historically low unemployment" Look at workforce participation. Last number I saw was that 5.4 million Americans said they will NEVER return to work because they are afraid of COVID. Hopefully they will eventually get educated enough to change their minds, but for now they seriously skew that unemployment statistic.
