All of this squeezing out new fees and nickel and diming everywhere you go for fewer services and worse service is further validation of how happy I am that I sold and left. Someone in the other thread about the pier fees at the Palace mentioned greed and entitlement - I would have to agree with that in many cases, but I would not blanket the whole island, and certainly not native islanders. The greed came with the cruise ship industry and the influx of workers brought in from Mexico City and other parts of Mexico to staff all of the tours and businesses that cater to the cruise ships.
