Sorry, Redwitch, I have to disagree about the greediness comment. People pay extra for convenience all the time. For example, the golf cart retailer owned by the developer is right here at the squares ... convenient.

Charging businesses more than the norm who wish to locate in one of the squares is a smart business move. By charging more, it weeds out those businesses that would not as successful. Therefore, we don't have mediocre shops and businesses at the squares, only the cream of the crop can afford their rates and that's why we have retailers and service providers that are excellent and highly successful. That's why we have desirable shops and professional businesses that we and those outside of TV want to frequent.

The developer has provided a solution to every need and filled every identifiable niche. If you had a massive business such as theirs, you would want to capture income from a variety of sources, rather than just from home sales.

Seems smart to me, not greedy.

Gracie, I'm not able to comment about any of the individuals in the Morse family. You specifically asked about Gary Morse. But I can say that I admire any family that can work together for a long period of time. Working with your family takes a great deal of respect and patience, love and understanding. Working with your family and making a paradise for retirees while taking in a profit -- extraordinary!
