Thanks for the link. It looks like the $155 figure is a deferral amount; the monthly fee will not go above this number until such time as the deferral amount if raised. The increases that would have taken place without the deferral amount can appear in the future so they aren't actually forgotten.

Some of this stuff is paid for with the "maintenance fee" on your November tax bill - typically about $500/year or so. I usually just refer to it as the "flower bill" since I believe the landscaping of the roundabouts and other common areas are paid for with this fee. There is probably other stuff.

Some things benefit the community as a whole, not just those that use a particular part----otherwise we could argue the school system should be paid for by usage, not property taxes. Or worse yet, the police should be paid for by those that don't own their own personal arsenal.
