If you had a problem would you go to the VHA for help or the POA? If the problem did not favor a solution for the Developer would you go to the VHA or the POA? If you wanted an issue investigated and the results published to the residents would you go to the POA or the VHA? If you wanted a particular issues not favorable to the Developer investigated would you go to The Village management or the President/Board Member of the POA? (Note: Almost all key decision members of The Village Management are there at the descretion of the Developer)? We all love The Villages and we all appreciate the hard work and efforts of the Developer and the family BUT it is not unrealistic to recognize that when issues arise that impact the Developers business case there is a need for an independent view that balances the Developer's business case vs the residents so that fairness rules. That is where the POA comes in !! To deny this fact is for one to give up their right to representations.
Just as an aside: The court ruled in favor of the POA not because the Court favored the POA but because something was wrong with what the Developer was doing.
