I don't mind to tell you that being so new here I couldn't even figure out the right questions to ask him for my clarification. I never heard that before and didn't want to show my open doubt to his statements.

Anybody shed some light on this?

Much appreciated
We have a form of government in the villages called community development districts. When the builder first develops a "district", all the members of the community development for that district are appointed by the builder since he is the only landowner at that time. As people start buying homes in the district, there is a slow (I think 5 year) transition until all the members of the district development have been voted in by the homeowners. I would recommend attending one of the classes given by our CDD. They are very informative about this type of local government. I see that you are a senior member of this board, so I apologize if you already knew this and if I have answered the wrong question.
