as contractors found ways of saving time to keep up, it was not a known practice of the Villages building methods, but i can guaranty it has been corrected now with all the complaints.
Time will tell what will happen with the repairs and if the villages makes it right!
Almost everyone has a problem with lanai ceilings separating and I am interested to see the solution.

I do not think that the speed of homes being built has changed at all over time. They have a well ordered plan and no sub is kept if they do NOT measure up.

The POA has changed a lot for the better in the last couple of years in my opinion, losing what was to me a combative stance against the developer. It is also my opinion that some disgruntled realtors who could not sell new homes here influenced some of the negative attitude shown in the newsletter.
