It's a bloody disgrace !

WHAT A DISGRACE !

In the aftermath of Hurricane Irma Century Village has many residents without electric power in their units. There’s a lot of special needs persons, many aged and infirm dealing with health issues and a vast number of elderly people who are threatened with heat exhaustion. They struggle  to get a decent meal as they cannot cook while their refrigerators without power quickly turn into breeding grounds for dangerous bacteria that infest spoiled food.

                So what is the disgrace in all this you may ask. The shame is that Century Village has a large clubhouse fully equipped with a kitchen and air conditioning that CV residents just forked out almost a million dollars to repair that is locked up and unavailable until further notice, whatever that means.

It is unconscionable by any standard, to deny residents a place to cool off, get a cold drink or a sandwich until power is restored to their homes. Where is the leadership and the compassion of our leaders who do worse than  nothing while residents suffer in the dark sweltering heat?

Is there any reasonable excuse for locking residents out when they need the facility the most? There is none that comes to mind.  The situation is indicative of the crass and uncaring attitudes of the managers and the administration who would rather sit around their committee tables discussing the spending of thousands of dollars for decorative lights to wrap around the trees at the entrances, or some other stupid expenditure, like painting pictures on the bottom of swimming pools, than planning for the real needs of residents.

Though they claim to have the best interests of everyone at heart, the closing of the clubhouse to residents reveals the true nature their hypocrisy.
