It is like a neighborhood group holding a party every week at your house and they pay for the entertainment but you have to clean up, check for damage to your home, pay the mortgage, taxes, electricity, etc., etc., etc. We Villagers pay the lion share of the cost to put on nightly entertainment in the town squares.
If this is what keeps you up at night, time to relocate.
