I do not think the developer "Gave Us" anything. They built a very nice community that we paid for and will pay for, until we move or die !
With all due respect I feel that you are using the term "gave" in a much different way than Gracie did. You're using "gave" like would be used in the case of being given a gift at Christmas, birthdays or other special occasions. Gracie used "gave" as another way of stating provided, meaning offered to us, directly or indirectly, a product or lifestyle for purchase. Are there any of us that didn't take advantage of that product/lifestyle on our own free will?

Perhaps the term "haters" was a little strong as people do have a right to voice their opinions, criticisms or simply what they are feeling. However, it can reach a point sometimes where it goes beyond making constructive criticisms and encroach into the realm of disingenuous. Let's face it, the developer has not only given us the possibility of owning the homes we live in, but has also provided many jobs for the greater community, and that includes some of us frogs. Think positively and remember that none of us would be here enjoying what we do if not for "the developer!"
