but ups delivers to our address.
True. UPS and FedEx are nice that way.
Not sure why USPS are so weird about it. I've seen news pieces where they deliver by BOAT to houses on rivers. In our old neighborhood in Calif., also rural, they wouldn't deliver past certain streets, but the people who lived on those streets (paved and maintained by the county, btw) got free mailboxes at the PO bc USPS has rule that if they don't deliver to your physical address, you are entitled to free PO Box. They are called 'Group E' boxes.
Edit: On our street, we didn't have house delivery, but we had a bank of rural boxes (the kind w/ the little flag), and had to purchase our own.
Sure, unfortunatly some folks around here like to take what don't belong to them. But the way this Board comes out demanding this thing indiscriminately without addressing the many questions is unheard of. Many of the lots are not occupied, and may not be occupied for years. It's incoherent to demand more money from lot owners when the yearly fees just went up and people are not living here. If you own more than one lot in the subdivision, you get hit more than once. My own road would be impassable if not because some of us are maintaining it, we need a decent road more than a bloody post box and that is what the fees they collect, are for.
