When will our illustrious board and its judicious Madame President shift their collective attention from its petty war on our pet dogs to the disastrous state of our landscaping – which, by the way, they created.
They ought to concern themselves with fixing the mess they have made of our community landscaping. Rather than worrying about 6 foot leashes; perhaps the community ought to question the board’s giving away our specimen palms to replant trash trees at their uneducated whim. Have they exceeded their authority to offer our collective assets without asking our permission by vote?
These self-appointed horticulturalists have decimated the mature plantings at both entrances and denuded once delightful areas, like the Butterfly Park, where a butterfly will never alight again.
If we all continue to turn a blind eye to their haphazard management and bumbling decisions, the costs to repair the damage they have and will continue to reap upon our once lovely community will soar to budget busting proportions.
Open your eyes, walk around the community … even if you don’t care that much about the landscaping itself; realize the negative impact the board and its President has on your investment. The better the community looks upon first impression when prospective buyers drive in, the easier it will be to sell your house and the higher price it will fetch. Enough is enough.
PS: If another board member (you know who you are lady) harasses my wife one more time when she walks our dog - on a leash - in the Butterfly Park - I will not let it pass idly by.
