[QUOTE=tophcfa;2196680]Perhaps the OP was not aware of the construction mess and corresponding tunnel closure when he showed up for his t time. In addition, the OP’s post is a friendly warning to fellow Villagers so they don’t wind up in the same situation, and for that he should get thanked, not criticized?
Unfortunately, it was only a matter of time before this mess occurred once the Clubhouse and corresponding facilities were torn down at Hacienda Hills. It’s impossible to build residential housing at the epicenter of an operating golf facility without major disruptions and inconveniences. I feel very sorry for the poor fellow Villagers living in close proximity to this mess as they will be dealing with it for the foreseeable future.[/QUOTE
Oh where to even begin "sage", lately I "try" to not even wonder why so many people are so quick on the trigger to criticize every little comment, opinion, or as you pointed out, warning to others who may inadvertently find themselves in the same situation ! Is this just because so many actually enjoy being "confrontational" as long as anonymous ? I also find myself wondering; if these same people were sitting at dinner, say at one of the country clubs, with others, and one mentioned their frightening encounter while making the crossing, do you think these same people would be so assertive as to tell the other they should shut up and take more personal responsibility ? Are there a certain percentage of people who simply can not understand the perspective of others ? Just seems like so many have a "hair trigger", sure would be a nasty, tense, dinner if a table of this type ! One thing I have NEVER seen on here (and I miss a lot so not an authority...LOL!) is the words: "Oh, I never thought about it from that angle, thanks for pointing that out". Or, "now that you mentioned it, that's a very good point", or, "I was thinking along the same lines as the poster, but you've given me some additional food for thought, thanks, that's why I like to read these discussion boards." I never read anything like that, the very reason you would THINK the aging population here would be anxious to get various views and perspectives, and thank people for sharing. Guess that is how we even got the WORLD wide reputation as the "friendliest home town", most people are so kind, appreciative, and understanding here.
