I neither "put words into" anyone's mouth, nor am I attempting to "stir the pudding." I'm merely pointing out a fact-- what some people consider "amenities," others consider "annoyances." Examples:

streetlights
paved roads
sidewalks
convenience stores within walking distance
overdone landscaping
security guards

I know there are people who wouldn't have a place on the lake unless it included all of these things, and more. And I know that there are people who wouldn't have a place on the lake if it had ANY ONE of these things; I'm one of them.

I have no problem with the people who desire the things I find so distasteful, as long as they respect my rights to like the other things, and as long as what they want doesn't impede with what I want. (Likewise, I need to make sure that what I want doesn't infringe on them.). As long as that word "RESPECT" is alive and well in the situation, there are no problems. But when one-- or both-- sides of a particular stand stop respecting the rights and desires of the other... THAT'S when the problems start.
