Most people in the neighborhood are very nice and accommodating and we basically
have an open and friendly group of people.  I would prefer that the homeowners
view my web site as it was intended: a location to find relevant information
about the subdivision quickly and without a hassle.  If it were possible, I
would post everything from the homeowners association to make the neighborhood
that much nicer.

Unfortunately, it appears that at least one person does not wish that to be.  My
web site is (in part) a response to that particular individual who - in my
opinion - wishes to feel like "the big dog" and who withholds or controls
information to do so.  If you'll notice, there have been no recent posts
regarding emails from the HOA.  I believe that I have been cutoff because of my
website.  Since my alternatives are to either attend all meetings (impossible
because of my work) or raise a ruckus with the association, I've just let it go
quiet until such time that changes work through.

Bottom line: would I recommend the neighborhood?  Yes, it is a very pleasant
place to live.  People are friendly but not overbearing.  We have relatively
low association fees, and covenants are not very restrictive.  We have been here
16 years and our children are going into college - it has been very nice for us.
That being said, no place is perfect :-)
