I know you disagree with that statement. I know a lot of people do. Can we move on yet?

Your original claim you made did not include the statement all things being equal. In fact in your original claim you identified a lake fee of $250 which in fact means it requires a value judgement of if having a lake is worth $250. Beyond that land values in lake communities are higher than the adjacent lakeless comunities.
I think everyone would agree that if it were possible to add a lake to a community without anything else changing then yes a lake would be equal or better. If you never used it equal if you used it once or more better. But that is just a semantic argument of something is better than nothing and has no place in a discussion of which neighbour hood is better. But even then it is still an subjective statement.
So you were just arguing semantics and intentionally ignoring the broader question of is a lake community worth the sacrifices of higher price and further away from downtown.
