They would be that group of " hardliners " that feel everything should be free and that no one who provides goods and services to the Villages including the Developer should ever make a nickel !

Frankly , the Valet Service was great and yes I was a frequent patron and why I would utilize it is no ones business . Yet the yelling and screaming about the Valet Service and its patrons who utilized it was most sophomoric and boring .
Their basic premise was " I would never pay $5 or $10 for Valet Parking and therefore no one else should either ".
So once again something good has been beaten back and now the masses are demanding something similar to it for free !
It just never ends . I shudder to think about what life here will become once the Developer has turned everything over to the general population to manage .
I can just see it now ---- shut off the fountains , fill in the flower beds with stone , only mow the common grounds every 6 weeks et al .
