That could become a slight concern, but I think it is overstated. We inquired about the amenities and were told that one amenity fee would accomidate everyone on the deed with a resident pass. We were hoping and expecting that we could each get a resident pass by paying double amenity fees. We were not looking for a "free - or half-price ride", and were surprised with that answer. Perhaps the powers that be will rethink that, and I would be fine with it if they did. I don't think it is fair to characterize our intent as somehow "cheating" other residents. After all, if four of us stay an average of six months each, and pay the monthly amenity fee, it will be relatively the same usage of amenities as a couple who stays twelve months.
