Thanks again, all. To Villages Kahuna, and I'm sincerely not meaning to be rude (perhaps a bit facetious)--just responding:
1) the $1k deposit you're talking about is for the waiting list, not a real deposit (usually $10k or 10%+).
2) We can see the webcam and the # of stories--i don't think anyone was saying FP is still in the planning stages or anything like that.
3) at least a few posters indicated that they had not heard of FP or knew folks who had not--so perhaps you are amazed?
.
4) sure, the
plans are to open EOY 2009 (i don't think anyone is disputing that)...but how often have you seen projects go past their budgeted timetable?--not saying this one will--just saying it happens.
5) i appreciate your advice to talk with Brookdale, and I did that before ever posting to the thread. As I said, I am an investor--I don't mean anything by this re: Brookdale the company, but asking them
only is like asking the guy selling you his car if it's a good car and then buying it immediately when he says "of course it's great"--you'd probably want to canvas other people, who may have good thoughts about it, and who hopefully have no potential conflicts of interest.
