Every business has a goal to improve "incremental revenue" each year. That is revenue that was not booked the prior year, (e.g. new business or improvements on old, etc).Reducing costs will not bring in incremental revenue but it will improve profit. So, the
question is what will the Villages do long term, e.g. 5 year plan, etc. Example: I just saw a note in the news that there will be a meeting to discuss "trash collection". That is a flag there may be either increase costs which would be new revenue and good for the Trash Company and bad for the residents or altering the methods of collections (fewer) which would most likely alter the contract with the Trash Co. to benefit the Village Mgt. but add costs to the residents. Does anyone think it is for the benefit of the residents? Now take this action and expand it to Landscaping, maintenance, infrastructures, etc and that should provide some idea of the directions of The Villages. Results: More costs..Less Services.. When you bought here you should have considered this as what will be the future? One of the things that is kinda new to the typical Business Model's is the way the Villages were able to influence the Florida Government to develop laws most favorable to their business, such as being able to pack various
Community development Groups, having Statues that are most favorable to the Developer. WE LOVE THE VILLAGES AND PLAN TO BE FROGS HERE BUT DON'T KID OURSELVES REGARDING THE DIRECTIONS IT WILL GO.
