Since they don't live in the neighborhood of the proposed Apartments they must have a payback for challenging those that do?? The sad thing is this list of ones who get paybacks will not suffer the problems of living in an area of apartments in a residential location! People who are arguing for the Apartments and don't live in the area have a payback!
The question is which category do they fall under?  |
I am feeling you may be talking about me?
I am not related to the developer, never met a Morse person other than the half brother who lives in my neighborhood and isn't really one of the gang... and I only saw him once, never spoke to him or shook his hand. I have lived here for almost fifteen years and really am very happy with how things are done here in The Villages. It is very successful and very well run and people are clamoring to move here and more people scare some residents, but people are moving to Florida in droves and they are going to live somewhere. I would opt for a good place run by people who have a good track record.
My goal and my payback is to challenge damaging rumors that harm the success of this entire place, The Villages. I feel that the challenges are being raised as an agenda against big business, and successful business that employs thousands of people. I think that somewhere there is a political aspect to a lot of these irate people who probably lived close by to apartments in their former life and felt no negative effects.
I think there is a movement afoot to tear down the aspect of the entire CDD form of government that I have great admiration for. It works better than the "complete democracy" of places like Orlando and Tampa.
I don't see the gloom and doom, the heavy traffic, the squalor, the shabbiness , the bad stuff that would come from this plan. I don't think it will turn out badly.
I live just off 466, right smack dab in the middle of The Villages in a Village that a lot of nay sayers said would fail because of the "traffic noise". Not so.
The folks who think bad stuff will come from the apartments may be right.
But I think they may be wrong and that if they don't work out well, the owners will abolish that plan and think of something else. They have been doin' real good so far.
