I recently had a very unfortunate experience that is worth noting, mainly because of the actor's blatant disregard for basic neighborhood safety principles and express disrespect for neighborhood decency. As I was returning to the neighborhood through the front gate, I saw a small white Lexus SUV speeding into the neighborhood through the open exit gate. That bothered me a little as the neighborhood has gone to great lengths to notify residents not to do this due to obvious safety concerns. I continued through the gate and noticed how fast the car was going. I clocked it at 42mph. Way to fast. I followed it to 1744 Glenlevit, the home of Eze and Maria Garcia. I asked if the driver and his wife lived in the neighborhood. They said that they were the Garcias and that they were residents. I very politely asked them not to enter through the exit as we have spent time and money as an association to keep people from doing that. They said that they forgot their clicker. I told Eze and Maria that I clocked them at 42 and that that speed was very unsafe in this neighborhood. They did not like hearing that and told me to get over it because they paid their dues and that there was nothing I could do. The Garcia?’s also said that I had no right to tell them what to do and cursed at me for bothering them. I was shocked at what I heard. Their lack of the least amount of concern about safety is extremely offensive, reckless, etc. I am more bothered by their response and lack of any decency than anything else. I am very sad to realized that I live in the same community with Mr. and Mrs. Garcia. Given their response, I have no doubt that Eze and Maria?’s unsafe and reckless behavior will continue - so please be on the lookout for them!
