The Pollyanna group gets insulted by this, for some reason, and conflict ensues. Obviously the main goal of the Developer here is to make money. That is a given. And the residents have certain needs that they would like to be met with their amenity fees. The residents filed a lawsuit against the Developer which was settled in 2008 (the residents won to the tune of $40 million) so that kind of gives you an idea of why some people are dissatisfied with the actions of the Developer and don't trust them.
Very well put Taj44; it's exactly the real thing.
