Some interesting chatter has emerged on a Facebook neighborhood page to which I belong … so I think I will weigh in gingerly on the subject at hand.

It involves the use of a community swimming pool built in our Princeton neighborhood.

I live in the Arcadia Farms subdivision. Our neighborhood is administered by a homeowners association, to which we pay dues each year. Those dues go toward maintaining the pool for use by the residents who pay them.

Some fellow Princeton residents believe the pool should be open to all residents in our part of the city. Our neighborhood is surrounded by other developments, with unique names and they, too, answer to HOAs that are different from the HOA that receives our dues.

I do not intend to sound snotty about this, but the pool — I believe — is reserved for those of us who live within our subdivision. I merely would suggest that those who live in nearby residential developments that lack a community pool should contact their HOA and ask about the feasibility of building a pool where they live.

This likely is an age-old dispute that has blown up in other areas with HOA-managed community pools. There might not be a suitable solution, one that would settle the disagreements. I am just trying to lend a bit of context and perspective.
