Let me begin by saying that I have absolutely no
motivation in wanting anything other than the well being of Diamondhead. Diamondhead failing equates to all of the
residents losing. I have invested more
than the average resident so my concerns are equally greater. Speaking at a "Town Meeting", in my
opinion, has proven to be a farce if you really believe it will do any
good. That is why I am now posting my
opinions in this format where time is not a concern. Perhaps it will have a positive effect on residents
who have become apathetic and we can once again have a community that we want
to live in because we feel our opinions
count.
The "Board" would have many believe that
I-neighbors is something they ignore. No
they don't. They are reading this right
now and pray that the residents of Diamondhead will shut-up and let them ignore
our By-laws and Bill of Assurance.
The opinions I have are not just mine but the same
opinion of many. There are always
differing view points from everyone but when lines in the sand are obvious,
enough is enough. The prevailing line
that has been drawn is as clear as the sad shape our community is in. If you don't hang out on the golf course or
if you are not a golfer our "Board" could simply care less about
you. If you disagree with the
"Board" they could care less about you. If you don't volunteer enough they care
absolutely nothing about you. Pretty sad
but if you aren't in what they feel is the right clique your opinions are as
worthless as their ability to operate this community!
When I moved to Diamondhead we had ammenities that I was
proud to brag about to outsiders. We had
a beautiful view of the lake from the Country Club and residents and guests had
beautiful dining. I don't have that anymore.
I know what happened and I certainly don't need anyone trying to explain
to me what a brilliant idea it was to rid ourselves of the "terrible Club
on the hill". If you still believe
that was a good move then you probably won't agree with anything else I say.
When I moved to Diamondhead we had a security guard and
guard shack - before you could enter through the gate. That is real security and the real reason POA
stickers are needed on a vehicle. Why
would you need them now? All we have
done in our super intelligent state of mind is make a simple job impossible. I don't feel any better about my security and
it is not the fault of the people we have hired. We have taken a simple and perfect system and
destroyed it. The security guards could
do their jobs then. Now we wonder why we
have problems. An easily reversed
problem that could be solved but we stand around scratching our heads and
forming a committee to "look into it".
When I moved to Diamondhead we had roads that were
certainly not perfect but were adequate.
The ditches were mowed and cleaned and we appeared that we cared. Tree limbs were trimmed off the roads
everywhere regardless of where the road was located - exactly how the
"bill of assurance" states. If
you owned property you could actually drive down the road and inspect your
investment. Don't you think our local
realtors would appreciate it if they could actually sell some property that
could be reached by something other than a "pack mule?"
When I moved to Diamondhead my "fire protection
dues" and car stickers were
included with my POA dues and I didn't have a special assesment. I now have three new bills I must pay. How does all of this happen? We all know and it is our fault.
It is too late for me to keep this short but let me sum
it all up by saying this. I have had
many things taken away since moving to Diamondhead and have had absolutely no
sane explanation although I now have a "Board" that wants more
money. I also get a "Bill of
Assurance" that is ignored which kills progress for our community and
destroys property values.
I guess I should just be happy. I certainly wouldn't want to be negative and
destroy anyones visions of things not being perfect. Maybe then I will understand why getting less
but paying more is how it should be. I
will insert some pictures of our roads so we can all show why we are proud of
our community.
