How does that change the point that what one hears from the sales agents quite often does not come to pass?

No "blame" for the developer doing what developers do.
There is no large business that gives their sales people information before the right time. They didn't share with the construction teams either. In most cases until the sales agents are given the new strategy they will continue to use the tools they have...and which will be perceived as sharing information that does not come to pass.
Wildwood was fearful that approving Villages expansion would change their political makeup and no longer have locals run for and occupy offices. They weighed that possibility against the increased revenue.....the revenue finally won though they are now trying to play catch up and non locals are running for office....so far not successfully but that will change.

Since the sales agents work for the Developer the posters are blaming the Developer. And I agree, Developers do what Developers do, ours just does it better than most.
