Why do people support the Developer / TV Concept,
and
Why do other people appear to want to negative and have a dislike for TV/The Developer???
So many times, threads get off of the OP's topic and turn into a debate on The Developers, The Villages' concept, personal attacks against the Developers and the personal support of the Developers.
The Moderators will give us some room here, but let's see if we can flush some of the thoughts / logic out prior to this thread being locked down.
Me????.................I have a lot of respect for the business people who risk their financial well being to develop/create something. ie: The Wright Brothers; Bill Gates; Ben Franklin; John Baird; Delbert Webb: Harley Davidson; as examples. Some got very rich, some did not. To me, that's the American Way.
[I have significant respect for the family and do not begrudge them one bit for their success. But here is a thought regarding ill will toward the developer: The Villages is a golfing community and over the past two years, the golf courses' conditions have declined. I think this is due to the huge increase in play as The Villages grows in the number of golfers and the number of championship courses remains the same. One solution I can think of is to push for a style of play that helps reduce the amount of time the golf carts are on the fairways. If we could start with a strict 90 degree rule, enforced by the Ambassadors and golf shop pros, it would go a long way to keep the fairways more playable. Our greens are generally very good but the fairways need help in staying thick and providing a good lie.]
