And the granddaddy of them all, flippers and people who are rewarded with another rental property instead of people who have spent their life here and want to go out in a new house?
This is from a couple at the pool who brought this up out of nowhere today. Great friendly people who feel slighted. I told them I congratulated the OP on this thread and it appears that my opinion ruined a long what I thought was a great relationship. Guess I was wrong, again. Oh well.

Not sure if I understand the question. Are you suggesting that existing Villagers who reside on their property get first dibs at new construction, if they show interest in switching villages within the community?
From a "community" standpoint, I agree. People who've already proven they are here to stay and not to flip, who have proven they pay their bills and care for their neighborhood, are a better risk to the rest of the community.
From a marketing standpoint, I disagree. Those folks already have a home, and if they move out, someone who is /not/ looking for new construction will be moving in to their vacated property. Plus, that property is already occupied. They're already a done deal. The developer wants MORE people to move in, not merely a shift in population from one location to another.
