Not criticizing, just stating the facts. You shouldn’t take objectivity so personally. It was smart to go to Webster and DeSantis to have the laws written for business profits. Who can argue that paying less than 1000 dollars in impact fees per house isn’t shrewd? I have nothing against The Developer or living here. Besides, the employees love this time of year with the bonuses and end of year Christmas party. Just don’t drink only The Villages cool aide. Stick to a balanced diet.

The plus side is there was someone to pick up the pieces of so many developments that were opened, but lacked closure plans. Yes, some of it was competitive in nature, but things got done. The Villages did that very well!
