Nothing I said was untrue or exaggerated as subsequently proven by other posters who added to the thread. The first of August arrived and voila, evidently the construction job was done, the lease expired, and the premises vacated. Nirvana is again in balance. The reason for this post is to take issue with many of the long term participants on this forum who at worst implied in responding to the thread that I was a troll and liar ( or was it a toad and liar ) for implying all might not be as ideal in TV as suggested in the propaganda forthcoming from the developer on a daily basis. At best, it was also suggested my usage of some common English words was politically incorrect and designed to be deliberately inflammatory. Note that no pejoratives were used, only words that have been in common usage for the last couple of centuries. The point is, TV is really a nice place to live but from my personal perspective does not constitute " Heaven on Earth " and I take exception to being castigated for not believing that it does. With respect to my choice of words, note the use of " propaganda " above. Look it up in Webster's. It is not a pejorative, or is it intended to be inflammatory though I have no doubt some will view it as such. To quote or paraphrase Jonathan Swift " There are none so blind as those who refuse to see ". I do think this old adage, in thinking about most internet forums, does have some application. As far as being a troll or toad, yes I have some warts, just like TV and freely admit to it though TV never will.
Here is your post about this problem;

"When my wife and I first purchased our courtyard villa we knew all of the villa developments included rental properties and we thought some of those might be leased to full time residents and others during " the season " be rented to grandparents and couples on vacation with perhaps a few also being let to younger families. That was precisely the case until now.

What we did not bargain for was the rental villas being used as rented " bunk houses " for labor gangs consisting of 30 year old males all driving pick ups who are working either for the developer or the other commercial entities within the Villages area. That is exactly what is happening in our villa neighborhood and it is something the Village relator is probably not going to mention when trying to sell you a house.

Evidently some of the speculator owners do not care along with their rental agencies about this as long as the monthly rent check continues to arrive in the mail. This situation might exist with some of the less expensive designer home rentals as well.

We just keep watching the oil spots in the driveways of the units in question grow in size. "



Were you able to contact the owners of the property to see what they had to say?
