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.
Just like the misconception the Villages have authoritive control of golf cart usage and the neighborhood gates on public roads. I drove on wedgewood road yesterday. Didn't notice poor work other than needs to be repainted.
