In the beginning that is true. The amenity fee will cover the cost of the initial rec facilities and maintenance, etc. But as more rec facilities are purchased more of the amenity fees will be used for debt maintenance.

If the bonds/purchase is based on amenity stream, at some point you run out amenities to pay for maintenance.
