I am amazed at the number of otherwise intelligent and rational people that blindly and continuously ignore the transgressions of the developer; always attacking the messengers as "complainers" and "whiners", but never providing any facts refuting the message.
Another recent example of the POA watching out for the residents is the issue of the offer by the developer to fund a pool at a new recreation center on the proposed Baptist church property if purchased by the AAC. The recent POA monthly pointed out that the developer is offering nothing, because the offer to fund the pool is in lieu of the developer building a neighborhood pool in one of the new 300 home developments in the north end. For this, the developer wants the AAC to allow an additional 300 homes to be built in the north end of TV.
I am as amazed as you are about the people who seem unable to grasp the facts
And then attack the the messenger. For the record, most people I've talked to are big supporters of the POA. We had friends who had some issues they needed help with. They first went to the VHA and found them completely useless, just an arm of the developer. They said they'd never waste time with them again, they would always look to the POA for assistance.

Thanks to Advogado and others for posting facts and educating the residents who read theses postings.
