Roads Are Easements Not Planned Communities Or HOAs

[Patricia]

But they always need to be kept separate and distinct from each other, even when one contributes to the other.

I agree with you that the USPS, Substandard Subdivisions and the County (along with the state and feds) are distinct entities. However, they act collectively. Sometimes to the advantage of one entity over another.

Owners who live in substandard subdivision pay road maintenance fees.

Owners in substandard communities pay County and state tax, which greatly benefits the county and state

Owners in substandard subdivisions pay federal tax, which benefits the fed (and the USPS- we have bailed them out twice).

The USPS is supposed to provide mail service, which customers everywhere pay for with stamps, shipping fees, etc.

But now, substandard subdivision owners must not only pay road fees to maintain their private roads, and taxes to support the County, state, and the feds, but they must also run their own "mailbox business."

These distinct entities need to work together, figure this out and DO something. Because the only entities benefiting here are the county, the state, the feds, and the USPS.

Substandard subdivision owners are screwed. And most of them do not even seem to realize it.
