We are 55 and considering a home in The Villages. We rented for a month in Oct 2009 and rented outside this Feb. Went to many open houses held by VLS and MLS to determine what type of home we might want. VLS agents tried to steer us toward new homes and had "no comment" about the IRS bond issue. They told us we needed to talk to corporate about it. (I Don't trust corporations)
We would like to make The Villages our last home but we expect to live an additional 25+ years. That's a long time to "keep our heads in the sand". In my opinion, Lauren Ritchie is trying to keep everyone informed. Pehaps those who do not like her are afraid of the truth and what it might do to their home values.(as am I) We still want to move to The Villages, I like KOOL-AID but want to make sure the POISON has not been added !

IMO, these are reasonable questons and concerns.
