And when you need something or something goes wrong with your home or something in general it will be the POA that will try to assist you and guide you to the right place if they cannot. For me its a no-brainer!! Residents should always come first. The developer has made plenty of money already and i wish they would take residents wishes into consideration instead of always seeing the "almighty dollar" An example is the Daily Sun. I love reading it but it ALWAYS publishes only the good experiences with the hospital!! The POA on the otherhand publishes good and bad experiences with the hospital. i want to hear both sides!! I'm sure plenty of folks have had bad experiences with the hospital along with the good experiences. The POA is there to protect OUR interests, not the developers. Please at least attend a few POA meetings before you made any kind of decision. That seems like a reasonable request!! And enjoy life in the villages. it's wonderful being here!!
Have you attended VHA meetings?

Re the Daily Sun, it's owned by an off-shoot of the developer. Have you ever read the Ocala, Leesburg, or Orlando newspapers? All are very negative re TV and all frequently quote statements/opinions of the POA spokes-piece.

Oh, and by the bye, it's none of your business whether the developer has "made plenty of money" or not. He's the one who took the risk and did the work, not you.
