Let's not forget the recent litigation against the developer. The developer tried to pull a fast one and not provide amenities etc. agreed upon with the residents. The developer hoped nobody noticed. Fortunately, some residents did and sued. As a result the developer had to cough up over $40 million to upgrade trails, facilities etc. in addition to paying over $7 million in legal fees paid to the prevailing parties.

Based upon the amounts involved the developer was certainly more than "marginally" at fault.

Great place to live and developer has done a great job overall, but it certainly appears that on ocassion, money, not the needs of the residents or contractuall obligations, is the primary driver behind some of their actions.
