I think the developer has done a great job building this place over three generations but do think the family has way to much control over local politics. I am certainly not anti developer but call them as I see them.
So in what city or country in the world do people with lots of money not have influence/control of politics. NYC had Trump and Bloomberg, Dallas had Perot, Ft Worth has the Bass family, Gates in Washington you could go on and on. Money, influence and power all go hand in hand. Strange how US Congress members go in not rich and come out with nothing to worry about for the rest of their lives. That is the way it is and can not see a way to stop it. Influence can be good and bad, can help public but hurt the public. There is a balancing act that must be done and due diligence.
