All of us in TV have bought into the planned communities with all the amenities and activities we all enjoy. That being said, I am willing to bet not too many of us knew or gave much thought to the possible negatives such as the bond issue or what happens to price control when build out arrives. It would be only natural to expect our costs to go skyward upon being released from the developer's envolvement. How much depends on what each of us can stand, figured out most likely on the purchase price of our homes and the tied in issue of the bond. It would not surprise me to see our monthly costs to jump 20-25%. The bond issue will be settled in a court of law, where it should be. In my opinion, the bond contains items that should have been included in the price of the home, not used to allow the developer a distinct monetary advantage. Time will tell.
