It seems like that's all the dues are used for. Why should I support this just so people I don't know can enjoy it? I've got better things to do with my money than fund somebody else's wifi.

Even absentee owners can feel good knowing they are helping to create community, and giving something to the neighborhood.
Even so, perhaps work-trade is possible? 3-4 hours a year?
