You are right, graciegirl.
I, too, lived in a development that was turned over to the residents. Suddenly special interest groups started feuding. It wasn't pretty. The developer left us with a healthy bank account and they couldn't wait to spend it.
I then "discovered" The Villages. The CDD concept appealed to me. It isn't perfect but I can't think of a better one.
Ladykathleen has a good point as well. The POA may not be everyones's favorite organization but it has served the residents well. The position of watchdog is not an enviable position but I'm glad someone is doing it.
