I like to know that I'm getting my money's worth regardless of who gets rich off my decision.

We pay for what we get and we get what we pay for. I'm happy with my decision and I'm happy to have Moffitt on board to make our homes retain their value well into the future (or hadn't you thought of that angle?).
I buy Nissan because it's a better car. Suppose people by Chevy and Buick and Ford for the same reason. Great cars are made by Americans, Germans, Japanese, Koreans etc. So what's the point?

Who gets rich is irrelevant in today's world. Lots of people do. The question should have do do with their get rich motivation. Greed is not a particularly good motive to champion.

Moffitt as a factor making your home worth more is a real stretch. I personally had not thought of that "angle" since it has nothing to do with the price of Apples, let alone Moffitt.

Put it all together and what do you get. An ill conceived Theater proposal, a very generous but dubious Moffitt proposal and a serious allegation of wild game poaching. Suspect all that together should create a fair number of doubting Villagers.

Time to get on board!
