If It Ain't Broke, Fix It

This week our benevolent leaders have decided to scrape, patch, and paint some of the breezeways on the property. This is not unneeded maintenance, but it is certainly not high priority maintenance. The breezeways are not crumbling down around us like some other parts of the neighborhood are. This money would be much better spent elsewhere.

Namely, the money being wasted to scrape, patch, and paint areas that are not really in need of that treatment would be infinitely better spent on patching and painting the large number of stucco walls on the property that are crumbling down around us and have been in desperate need of maintenance for months, if not years.

Why the powers that be would choose to spend our scarce funds on non-urgent maintenance when there are parts of the community that are in much more dire need of attention is beyond me.
