advogado,
bingo. perfect. you nailed it.

Lauren,
I have some sincere questions for you. No sarcasm intended or implied.
Have you ever written a positive column on the developer or The Villages?
For example, have you ever written about the positive and negative aspects connected to the development of The Villages? ie; the impact on the economy, jobs, increased tax revenues, medical facilities, schools, etc. in Sumter, Marion and Lake Counties.
Have you contrasted the area before the development and after? Are county residents better off now or before Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Morse created The Villages?
Have you ever toured the charter school campus built by the developer that educates non-Village residents? What a story there.
If not, wouldn't it give balance to what appears to be to many, a negative campaign against the developer and the Villages
There is certainly room for objective, conflicting and interesting perspectives on the above subject matter.
I am not connected in anyway with the developer and on occasion have been critical of some decision making. It has not diminished our happiness with living the dream in TV.
