And many people in my subdivision want the access road opened between the subdivisions, but evidently we are a bunch of thieves is the reason we are given for it. More rumors that are causing us to be divided. I think if Eden Roc people that are saying that would drive around our neighborhood, there are some pretty nice homes. So to lump us all in the thief category is sad because that is a statement of the absolute and improbable that every human that lives in this subdivision is a thief. And I am sure every subdivision has its' share of thieves, just Iike anywhere. I wonder if Eden Roc knew that we are their volunteer fire department, maybe they would feel different. We had to take your fire truck because your neighborhood vandalizes the truck. We are not making the assumption that all people of Eden Roc are vandals. We want to be able to get to you quickly to help fight fires, and we now have to go all the way out and in to your area which will cost valuable time for us to respond and, well, it isn't rocket science. I personally do not care if the access is open, just giving the facts.
So, the rumors even have subdivisions divided with each other. We need to get together and help each other
I asked at one of the monthly meetings about the blocked road. The concern wasn't so much about possible vandalism, but about wear and tear on the paved roads. I can sort of understand that one as there's barely enough money to keep the two main paved roads functioning with one lane for much of the subdivision. Ideally, one day the county would take over the roads in both subdivisions and people could travel freely on county roads, but we know that will never happen. I like to walk through the blocked off road and wander around in FF. It doesn't seem any more vandal like than anywhere in ER. I sure do miss the walks down Jungle King. So much character around there.
