And further, most people don't comprehend The Villages and the Morse family is just a land development company. Once they complete a housing section and all the houses are sold, the CDD becomes the governing body and is responsible, not the developer. The only areas that The Villages company controls is the commercial areas where they collect rent from the businesses. We all seem to think that maintaining everything in our fantastic community is the responsibility of The Villages and the Morse family. So just like it was "up north", whenever a subdivision is completely built out, that is the last you will ever see of the developer who bought the land, put in the streets, and built the houses. We all need to get over the misconception that The Villages and the Morse family still control our neighborhoods.

You are right, because - I think, it is the Morse’ continuing interest in TV, banking, renting spaces for business and more new development etc that gives some people the impression that they are the government or benevolent identity that looks after all, instead of the astute but limited business which they run.
Or people are just looking at someone to blame and hold responsible whether it is legitimate or not. I don’t know whether to be upset or to smile.
