"The Developer" in TOTV has a incredibly large financial interest in seeing to the well oiled , efficient and high quality of life in the "bubble". It is my understanding that they own around 4million Sq ft of commercial property here , and as long as that is the case they have an enourmous incentive to protect what becomes our joint interest. The death of Gary Morse gves me great pause. Ofter the imperial families begin to fracture after the Monarch dies. That would not bode well for us. A sign that the family was selling the commercial package also would not bode well. Just the musings of one who has been through this stuff before, but on a much smaller scale.
I mentioned this very thing a few months ago when the striping issue in District 4 arose, and the potential covering of the Hacienda pool. In my opinion, when and if the time comes that district boards have total control of our funds and decision making, the Villages lifestyle will drastically change for the worse. It makes no difference if those new decision makers are total idiots or intelligent PHd types. They'll be impowered to run our Villages the way "they" see fit.
I have seen the turmoil and destruction caused by HOAs and POAs first hand in two other states. And should that governing model whether by design or misfortune come to be in the Villages, I will consider my time as a Villager an absolutely wonderful experience, and move on.
