Gates are a joke
 
Specifically the gate at Canal and Stillwater. Hasn't worked for two weeks or there about. They got it going the other day and a hour later it wasn't. Working today but we will see how long that will be. What a waste of money.Does our amenity fee pay for that. If not then where else would the money come from.

I think your annual maintenance fee pays for that.

So far you haven't convinced me that gates are a joke.

GATES! What are they good for?............
 
The gates control traffic.

At least in my neck of the woods, that's what the gates do.

Without the gates, there would be even more accidents involving golf carts.

I like the gates.

Check your tax bill under "Non-Ad Valdrem Assessments". Mine is a little over $500

Catholics pay for the gates. There is a collection plate every Sunday and I'm pretty sure it's to pay for the broken gates.

Every topic is a joke...and I use that term very loosely.

Another vote FOR the gates.

Sounds like Irish Catholic guilt. Must be Catholics breaking the gates.

Gate repair is only costing a little more than the stopped striping plan. The cost is about 1/2 million per year paid for by someone.
