Strongly suggest you read the entire post, especially the 2nd paragraph, not just the last line. While most of us Villagers enjoy our lives here and don't deny its wonders, it has grown exponentially- mostly for the developer's benefit, not the residents. Under the original developer, Harold Schwarz, the residents were no. 1 and that's why we brought our old neighbors and friends here. Sadly, money comes 1st for the developer who refuses to step in and rectify problems he created (roofs, siding, bridge abutments. inadequate multimodal trails, etc. The growth and excess spending by the CDDs is almost unbelievable, often due to poor planning or inadequate building construction. Like most governments, they know how to spend and don't pay enough attention to reducing expenditures which we get stuck paying for.
Other than the POA, no one is looking out for the residents.
