The person who wrote the post about Solera being a bad place to live has no clue what they are talking about, in my opinion. I have lived here for 5 years and find it a wonderful place to be retired. The board did build a much needed addition to our community center but there was no increase in HOA fees or cost to the residents. They used excess moneythey have collected over the years. When I moved in I did not know one person in Solera and after 5 years I know hundereds of people. We are very inclusive of all people. If you want a friend, be a friend. I am probably one of the people who you say is loud and drunk at the pool. Yes we get loud and have fun but I have never in 5 years seen anyone drunk. Most of the residents are outgoing and fun loving but if you want to stay in and not associate with anyone no one is going to pester you. The Board meetings are open to all residents and you are free to say anything you wish to say. Just don't exxpect everyone to agree with you. Did the County Board ask you to vote on widening Hunt HWY? Then why do you expect the HOA Board to ask for a vote on improving the community? They all made their stance clear on the expansion at election time and all were overwhelmingly elected. As I said I think it is a wonderful place but it may not be for you and if you feel the way you wrote then perhaps you should run for the board and change things. Life is too short to be unhappy so do what ever makes you happy. read more
