Sorry but Santa Claus dont work in this neighborhood.
When my partner bought what is now our rental property in HPP the roads were OK, not great but OK, this was a long time ago when very few people lived here, there were 4 houses on our dead end road. By the time I came on the scene the roads were really good: lines of sight were safe on all the intersections, the grader came through twice a year and new material was brought in and rolled at least once a year, and the sides of our dead end road were mowed on a regular basis.
That continued for several years for basically the same road fees and bond payments we have now, until the mid day massacre where a brand new board fired the GM, the road crew manager, and soon after pretty much everyone else. Since then the road has been graded exactly once, the intersections have no lines of sight to see speeding cars coming on the paved main roads, and any mowing is done by the people living on the road.
I don't give a rats rear end about Santa Claus, but like most property owners in HPP I want a return to the level of service we got for years, before the board fired everyone who knew how to maintain our roads within the budget provided by our road fees.
