I am equally disappointed in those who brought the lawsuit and the fact that it was not publicized by our local newspaper. Perhaps it is because doing away with the college would have been a negative to some potential buyers of property here. If so, keeping the lawsuit quiet would be in the same category as the fact that our "gated" community gives a false sense of security. Both are negatives, and we generally don't know about it until too late. How many people would have made the choice to buy here if they knew about either or both in the last eight years? (Please don't flame me with the "due diligence" thing.) The Villages' real estate "promoters" should at least disclose pending situations that are undesirable. Is that the reason that they are not actual real estate agents?
