But you are now experiencing what TV cares about and it is not you or any other homeowner. The new generation of devolopers do not give two toots about you. And the same thing you see about them deserting (screwing over) people in the north section will, or already is, happening to you.
Don't care to leave, I'm enjoying my life. But I also don't have my head in the sand or nose up an arse as far as the developer is concerned. I have to laugh at the nose up the arse crowd who say "look what he gave us". OMG, are you that stupid?
The developers didn't GIVE ANYTHING TO YOU! They made a killing off of you, and while you can enjoy the lifestyle, don't ever think for a second that the new generation won't screw you over for a dollar.
I live my great life with eyes wide open and my nose not planted in blind admiration. But that's why I retired at 50 and didn't have to count on a rich spouse to pay my way to TV.
I too retired very early in life, a little oder than you at 55. One good thing the developers did for me was to give one hell of a deal on a new home when they first opened Fenney. True, a lot of my posts are defending the southern villages, defending the obvious uneducated posts and even lies that people put out there bashing us down here, most of them knew nothing about living here and a lot of them were never even down here. That bashing has finally slowed down as most now realize that this is the place to be and 30% of our residents moved here from the northern villages. I'm not happy with what is going on with pond management but the rainy season is coming and soon Hammock will be completed and their ponds will be filled so that they can be lowered to fill ponds in the next village south. Having this one complaint about what is going on in 4 years isn't too bad and for sure not bad enough to make me even consider not living here.
