They are fussing and fighting over whether we need a line in the middle of the cart paths. I drove a long way today on unlined cart paths. I don't like the nit picking and dumb additions and foolish expenditures that comes from people running communities who have had no previous history doing it.

I am a big fan of how the developers run things.
I agree, Gracie. I've been involved in too many things where people who had no idea of what they were doing outvoted professionals. It's always best to let professionals do their job.

In condos where the residents run the place, you often have committees made up of people with their own little agenda and are not always interested in the overall welfare of the development.

I think that the developer of The Villages has done an incredible job in creating a lifestyle for all of us. Do I agree with every single little decision that has been made? Probably not, but like you say, we can nit pick things to death. and how many of us have an opinion based on "How will this affect me?" as opposed to "Is this better for the residents overall?"

Like I said, give professionals a job to do and get out of their way.
