I have nothing to gain. I don't know the Morses, a half brother lives down the street but I have never spoken to him directly even though I have been in the same place during three gatherings.. I know corporations don't have hearts, but families do have ethics.

I am betting that the Morses will continue to keep this wonderful place nice and to employ people and make money for themselves and keep the economy here stable.

I am so blessed that I am known to many people personally, who I am sure see me as an annoying old lady with too much time at the computer, but some still like me.

I have no ax to grind. Wait. Yes I do. I want to keep this place nice and the values of our property high too. I am old but I am not stupid.
I agree that this is a nice place to live, I am close to your age, and I like living here. All of which has nothing to do with the tax increase.
We are essentially writing a check to the Developer every year in the amount of our tax increase. If you are ok with that, then your devotion to the Developer is well founded.
