Of course you would argue.
The article is just discussing TV's fees and they are wrong, so the article is wrong.


I have posted my position a number of time, most of the time it's deleted with the sweeping cleaning of the site managers.


My position:
I don't care if the impact fee discount is eliminated and TV fee goes to +$2500.
TV does not care if the fee is increased to the non-discounted level.
It is no money out of TV's pocket, they will just increase the prices.
This increase will result in very little of the 25% increase being reversed.


Did I like the 25% increase, of course not.
Was it unexpected, NOPE.
+10 year of no increases, taxes are going up and they are going up big.


The 25% increase equated to 1% to 2% of disposable income.
It's all proportional to house values, income level, etc.
What was the published example???.........$300,000 house amount to just over $1/day.


I jump into the discussions when I see false information, wrong data and general BS.
I planned my retirement well and this 25% was not even a speed bump.
I extremely happy with The Villages and the Lifestyle they have created.
If my house would have cost $2500 more, if the monthly fees increase by $40 or if my property taxes go up ~$1/day (or proportionately)........It's worth it!!


I enjoy the clueless posters (& maybe some of the voters) who think the 25% will be reversed by increasing impact fees on TV South of 44. It ain't going to happen for so many reasons. There might be a few percentage reduction, but the 25% will not be reversed.


Remember the Commissioners' Mission Statement:
Our mission is to provide the most efficient, effective, and responsive government that achieves economic growth, quality customer service, and a safe community for our citizens.


Their primary focus is growth.

Sometimes there is a cost to the citizens



There are roads all over the county I will never drive on, but I helped pay for them.
The same is true about my Federal Taxes and the Interstate Road system.


Good Luck with your battle.
