The so called monuments stating our neighborhood still stand incomplete. You state that you do not want to be associated with Gann Ranch when you try to sell your home. Honestly every subdivison has the good and the bad areas. You look at the older homes and still see that people haven taken great pride in keeping up the home. There are the ones that do bring the "look" down, but as a neighborhood in all it is still a great one to live in.
You state that our neighborhood is of a higher standard, who makes that decision? Anyway you spin it that is a very judgemental statement. Are we a higher standard because the size of the houses? Or do you feel it is because you may have paid more for your house? Yep our neighborhood is at a high standard when you get to drive around and see a water treatment storage facility. Yep real high standard. All I see is people who think they are better.
The one common issue that I can really agree with is the HOA and Developers. The developers need to go and go soon. I have attended the meetings, I have voiced my opinion at these meetings and personally spoke with board members. I have attempted to do so in a manner that items can be discussed, but always get the same closed minded approach. We have actually had to escort one of them off our property one evening as they felt they could just walk in to our garage while we were in there. They felt that the had the right to do so and even told us "Do you know I am on the Board and I can fine you?" This board member may have had a bit of earlier entertainment that gave them the courage to do so, but they were also kindly reminded DO NOT STEP FOOT ON MY PROPERTY without being invited.
