Also one more thing, let's have some sympathy for people who are in arrears. Do you think people like being "black labeled" or like the overwhelming feeling that they might loose their homes? The economy is tough and times are getting harder for people. I find it hard to believe that of that 16% delinquency rate is intentional! As I have heard many of the homes foreclosed and breeding weeds are mostly from investors purchased in Founders Village? If that's not the case, do you think that the homeowner in that situation expected loosing a job or the economy tanking…I do not think so? Moving & building a home in Daybreak was not cheap, especially 2 yrs ago when it was in its peak pricing? If you have a neighbor who you know is struggling and their yard looks like “weeds†from a horror movie, have you offered to help or out of kindness… mow their yard or assist with maintaining weed control? People are depressed and worried, let alone think about weeds? How would know if you don’t ask your neighbor or better yet surprise them by helping out? That would certainly lift their spirit and yours as well? Not to gripe, but I guess we are lucky in my street, where we have pitched in with helping neighbors who are struggling and the rewards are beautiful. Unfortunately, the HOA does not help out in situation like these because there is a discrepancy within CCMC and the HOA which is the same? There are scenarios of people who where struggling and called CCMC directly, got assistance with delinquency and placed on Monthly Plans and are current. But then the HOA continues to keep their accounts frozen prohibiting them from using the amenities because they are paying monthly instead of quarterly? So much for making that person feel that the HOA is there to help…just another way of making people feel like crap and that the HOA RULES!! Hah…hah…ha! Like I said, I am speaking these frustrations from a meeting held with my neighbors who want positive change. So, we will look forward to the next HOA/BOD meeting as usual, speak our minds hoping that they are listening and be let down…over and over. As my point today when I had conversations with Jeff Stephenson with the BOD/Kennecott...in regards to the Hamlet situation and was left with the "brushed off" feeling and never responded to… BY THE WAY JEFF THANKS! GREAT SPORT! I REALLY DID NOT EXPECT YOU TO RETURN MY CALL!
