I don't agree with the Kool-Aid part, nobody ever misrepresented what TV was to me. But I 110% agree with what I highlighted. Now, how much more in amenity fees are the residents willing to pay to eliminate the problem, especially since many don't believe it's a problem?
We would be talking about either high-tech gate cards and cameras at the pools and rec center outdoor facilities, or a massive increase in manpower. The golf courses would again need after hour monitoring either by camera or a person. But considering how cheap our amenity fee is in comparison to other Florida communities and how much more we get, I for one am willing to pay the price. The last thing I would want is a Villager alone at a pool when a gang of teenagers climbs the fence. They wouldn't be there to sell Girl Scout cookies.
