We have an outer Quad on Manzana 4 and have read your posts. We found your comments condescending to say the least and clearly the cause of some ill feeling which we do not believe is necessary or desired within our 'community'. We strongly agree with those comments made by tonymartini and astelle.
Unfortunately we were unable to attend the recent meeting, but assigned our proxy vote and opinions to another resident who did attend.
It is apparent that all quad owners are questioning the porportionality of the fees which we find are reasonable concerns. Where else would you pay for goods or services that you did not use or have access to (except taxes of course). In particular to this case, we cannot see why we should pay for the upkeep and repair of the electric gates - it is obvious that these will naturally be frought with expense due to frequent repair by the very nature of their make-up.
We have absolutely no issue with paying towards the upkeep of our community and for it to be kept looking as best as possible as this can clearly only benefit us and everyone else long term, but we feel that the costs allocated to each owner should realistically be allocated! Why should anyone pay for something that they have no benefit of - the car park gates are clearly for the use of the residents of the inner walkway only.
We're sure that if you are honest to yourself and had an outer Quad you would feel the same. It is most certainly not a case of us wanting our cake and eating it!!!!!
