I respect what the developer has done here. I am not envious of their success as I know how much hard work over the decades must have been put into creating The Villages. And for the most part, I think the actions of the developer usually, but not always benefit the residents here. So I do support the developer, but not blindly so.
Now for the POA, for 5 years I supported the idea of the POA, and I thought its existence seemed to provide a good check and balance tool with respect to the decisions made by the developer and the various districts and their supervisors. My opinion and support for the POA has changed and mostly due to what I perceive as a desire of the POA to obtain more power, and have a bigger voice in how we Villagers live in our communities.
Lastly, you insinuate there is bias on my part without having any idea as to how I arrived at my opinion on the parties involved, or how long it took me to do so. In reality, I seem to have a different opinion from yours, so I must be biased. I think that is a shallow opinion of the abilities of people in general to have their own opinion on topics, and also have their view of things to evolve over time and become quite different.
And I think I have wasted too much time on this subject.
