The Coto Soccer Mom Syndrome
Do Coto Soccer Moms get a bum rap, or is it deserved?
June 2, 2008
A few months back and in a parting shot, a former member of the CZ Master Board of directors in an interview with the Orange County Register blamed the “Coto Traffic Problem” on the Coto Soccer Moms. This was a surprise to us, given that the Traffic Citations and Traffic Accidents data, as supplied to us by the California Highway Patrol did not support such assertion.
Last week we observed how a Coto Soccer Mom run over a pylon being used to keep traffic out from a section of pavement being worked on. The Soccer Mom proceeded to drive for some 1/8 of a mile with a clonking sound coming from under her SUV, from the dragging pylon. Unfazed, she stopped, looked under the SUV, got the pylon and duped it on the side of the road, picked up her daughter who was waiting for her to finish the job, made a U-turn and left. We picked up the pylon and walked it the 1/8 and left it where it belonged.
For more than a month, a “caution, children at play” sign has been down at one of the most dangerous intersections in Coto de Caza: Seacliff and Vista Del Verde. Apparently no Soccer Moms, or Dads for that matter, cared that the sign was down. Apparently UPS guards never saw the sign being down and/or never reported it to Keystone and/or Keystone never took action. We reported to Keystone today and received the following response “I have sent a work order to our vendor and the corrective action has been taken to fix the sign.”
The moral of the story? Pray you never have an emergency while in Coto de Caza, your next door Soccer Mom could care less!

At some point, the Board will have to deal with the subsidies going to non-members and even Members who are not paying their fair share of the extra expense they are causing the Association” and our response is encapsulated below:

Outsourcing Decision Making to Property Management Companies
Arguably, outsourcing can be a manager?s best friend, or worst enemy. It is fair to say that most people get paychecks prepared not by the employer, but by companies such as ADP. Of course, we also know about the call centers in India.
