In the more than a dozen years since I have lived here I have seen the Morses change or attempt to make better many things as they continue to build. Where cart paths are placed in connection with roadways is greatly improved south of 466 as an example.
Many site other examples as "greedy" such as smaller lots south of 466A. I realize that property prices increase to them as they try to buy significant hunks of it. The smaller lots allow them to offer homes for a price they will sell and yet keep their profit margin, pay their help, planners, workers and subs and make money. There is NO shame in making money and no one holds a gun to anyone's head to buy here.
When we first came here to look, my husband and I expected a hard sell from the Morse organization but the opposite was true. We made an appointment to see homes and we were shown homes for about an hour and then we didn't hear from the salesperson again until we called them. Most people will tell you similar tales. Living here is much desired and no one has to lie to sell houses.
I have been so vocal in my support of the developer that some people think I get kickbacks. I was told about a conversation that one of my friends heard at a large party where my name was mentioned and it was said the developer gave us our house. We have laughed about that many times.
There are many rumors and opinions that float around and particularly now when so many of us are staying home a lot due to the pandemic. Many on this forum try to correct rumors and try to offer facts and others just make things up.

I think it’s difficult for some to have empathy for this situation unless the homes next to their house are torn down and this apartment complex is built next to their home or right across the street. We don’t live near Hacienda or the congested Morse boulevard but I think suggesting those residents who do MUST embrace this high-density, high impact development is unfair.
