By refering to the creators of The Villages (through their generations) as "The Developer" is a little like saying "The Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz." I prefer calling people by their name. Afterall, they are people! They are not hiding behind a curtain!

Actually, they are. How often do you see any of them hanging out at the square and shaking hands, as the original developer did? One or two of them come out from behind the curtain once a year to tell us how lucky we are that they have blessed us with such a wonderful life.
Many of you forget, they didn't PROVIDE us with this. We paid a premium price to live here. Capitalism, not generosity provided this lifestyle.
