I beg to differ on the quantity paying more than others.

At our recent neighborhood get together, the amenity fee came up. At least a quarter of people stated they are paying over $210 per month, and a few shouted out numbers over $215.

It became a very ugly topic with angry people wanting to know why they are paying more for identical services. They compared it to a store charging some people different prices for the same item.
A few wondered about filing a class action lawsuit, citing discrimination based upon age because newer homeowners (who paying more) are typically younger than present residents (paying less). And then paying more for their existing house than those buying a new house.

It really doesn't matter what budgeting process that caused different amounts. It's unfair for one house to subsidize another. It should be identical for everyone.

WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS
