I read the following article in the online news and realized that the new villages south of the FL Turnpike would be voting on issues affecting all of us in the "core" Villages. I'm not so sure that's a good idea.

"CDD 4 supervisors were perplexed as to why pools in their district would be voted on by all residents. Staff explained that pools are open to all residents of The Villages so all residents will have the opportunity to take part in the survey. Do you agree with the decision?"

And why wouldn't they be able to ? Just like the people who live south of 466A being able to vote on the "inner core Villages" ? They will be paying the same fees as everyone else and will have access to all of the same amenities of The Villages...just like you.They will just be a Villager, entitled to everything other Villagers are entitled to...just like you are.

We don't vote. It is a CDD. It is a benevolent dictatorship and I love it. When the residents start running the asylum is when I put my house up for sale. It is ALL GOOD the way it is.

One of the great appeals of TV for me is that all facilities are equally accessible to all residents. So even though there isn't voting by residents, all residents' opinions are equally important.

That is what I was tryin' to say. I have been part of places where the HOA was run by people who had difficulty balancing their check book and making a grocery list. People who had never held a position of authority before. It is AWFUL.

Absolutely correct!!

So, potentially 6,000 additional souls will have full access within the core and we within the core all 100,000 of us will have full access within Finney. Guess which way this transvillage amenity migration will flow. All below 466A will be affected since ALL shopping exists within the core and this migration will be by automobile only.

Core? Really???

A resident of TV is a resident of TV? As simple as that!

But the good news is we all have choices to accept the bigger or not. Also, I don't think the issue for the pools was a vote, it was a non-binding survery.
