You can't make some of this stuff up. I like the one where they believe the "people" can't manage themselves and they would rather have someone else other than the people. I believe that is similar to The King of England and the
Colonies, or how about some countries today. sound familiar. Where are these people coming from? Read the Law governing the Condo's in Florida and the limited if any power the Developer has after a Condo is sold and the requirements of the Condo owner's to manage themselves with relatively strong laws. (You will find it under Fl Law 718). Having outside people, appointed by the Developer to run your community is beyond belief. As owner's you only have the power that is given to you by that persons delegated authority. Is it a great community, of course it is. Are you paying for things that are not intended for your benefit. Of course you are. Remember the famous statement. "FOLLOW THE MONEY". The Villages does not have a soul, it is a profit making business. So many want to pretend it has a soul. Think of General Motors or Apple. They are profit making business's like The Villages. The business product here is building and selling houses, retaining percentages of business rental properties, charging residents for some building costs, having holding on banks, insurance companies, etc.etc. There are many more revenue sources that contribute to it being a well oiled business with the Owner and Officers making large amounts of money/profit. Is that wrong? No it is the America's way of life. It is wrong to have outsiders dictate what your rules and laws will be without any say by the owners. You bet your life it is. Lets just recognize what we have without trying to paint it as something it is not!!
