The people paying for the schools SHOULD have priority. That’s just common sense.
And the water park with the gate now – again, this is pretty straight forward.
Even with the restriction to 4S residents, the park is PACKED during the Summer. When there was no gate, other schools and daycare centers were (quite literally) bringing kids in by the busload to use the park.
So the people who lived there were both crowded out, and ended up footing the maintenance bill to pay for everyone else coming into the community to use the park. The maintenance on a water park is not cheap!
