Re: The Villages-Long Term
Well, of course the developer is here to make money! This is not a charitable institution, this is real estate development. The developer (and I use the word not to describe a specific individual but rather Harold Schwartz and his descendants) continue to invest their money into what at first was a concept that might have been uncertain, and it paid off for them--and for us, or we would not be here.... Paid off handsomely? Yes, well, good for them! "Field of Dreams": Build it and they [we] will come! And we are coming, so evidently the developer is doing something right. The developer's concept involved building the amenities first (which sadly has not been the case in other retirement developments), and we pay for them through our amenity fee. We know this when we buy here, and we accept that this is how it works.
