Please realize that the developer has only one reason to be here and only one and that is to make money, much much money by selling and misrepresenting what the villages is supposed to be about.

Remember the present developer did not create The Villages. The present concept is "a far far cry" from the orginal concept. I personally cannot wait until the management is in the hands of a (democracy) in the hands of people for the people. Our situation will be so much for the better.
While I am for the POA do not give them that much credit. While they are an assist they are also a thorn in the butt. We will see what the class action suit gets us in the future. From today's POA news it looks like the ones that made good on the suit are wanting to bail out.

While the present developers did not create the Villages, I have to feel that they have us in mind and the covenants and bylaws have some jurisdiction over our existence.

As for a change to a democracy. be careful of what you wish for.
