The Developer probably does have substantial impact on policy. Overall, I don't have any complaint on what they've done. They've built a beautiful Charter School to attract workers, built golf courses, rec. centers, pools, dog parks, Wiechens preserve, outdoor exercise equipment, softball centers, archery ranges, etc. They have laid out a vision to build another Charter School, medical facility, etc. I have no issue with their vision.
Or perhaps you'd like policy managed by committee??? Have you seen the random, self-centered, negative demands by some of the villagers?? Maybe you want it to be just like congress.... constant fighting where nothing gets done.
