Mr. Schwartz was visible. He was not secluded in an unknown office location somewhere with no contact with the outside Villages world.

Sadly, there no longer is a personal touch here. TV has become too large and the Morse family is concentrating more on development than being visible. The Villages today is a business and is run like one. While we all benefit from all the terrific things which are offered, we are paying for these things which is not unlike living in any other PUD anywhere else.

Exactly.
