Would you please not rant like this here? You have a good point that $5 a day is a lot for many people, but venting bile is not a good way to make your points on Hacker News. You emit more pollution this way than information, and if we're to have a functioning community, not polluting the local ecosystem is each member's first responsibility.

Thank you for your moderation. I got carried away. I will try not let let that happen again.
It's such a pleasure when someone replies to moderation with moderation. Thank you!
Why is this thing electronic at all? Why isn't it just a purely mechanical system where when you get a package, they drop the key to the big package-sized lockbox in your little letter-sized mailbox?
This is what the USPS, Canada Post, and some other postal services do in community mailboxes. The only problem is when someone forgets to pickup a package as the box is rendered unusable until they do, which can be a challenge with only a few package boxes for every 5-10 mailboxes.
Why is nobody talking about the most important point? THIS is the most important point. $5 a day is a LOT of money and I am outraged. Is everyone here financially independent or something? I have agonized over buying a used desktop/laptop computer for months and that purchase is well under $200.
None of the rest of the story matters. What matters at the end of the day is the money. Are you guys paying attention to where your money is going?
If I was in charge, changing the terms of rental like this would be a criminal offense and the management would be in prison for years.
