I think management needs to do some type of PR program to counter this crap.

It can effect your property values.
Jimbo.

You don't need to worry about the property values being affected by this rumor. "Management" doesn't need to advertise on television anymore to sell houses and if you have driven down here, there are NO billboards...along the road. The developers are selling as many homes as their huge and well trained crews can build every month. I have LIVED here for four years and have watched the price of homes and believe me, they have remained quite normal and mostly unaffected by the economic crisis affecting real estate everywhere else.

What is so interesting to me is that this place is blowing and going and is on Forbes list as ...let me think now..is it the fastest growing town in the country, definitely the largest retirement community in the world ...and when we go home to a funeral, people don't know where it is in Florida and have never heard of it.

The fun for me is to see people arrive here and see their absolute amazement. When you tell them that all of this is available to them for an amenity fee of about $140 a month and homes sell from 70K to a million and a half and everyone pays the same amenity fee...and everyone belongs to all of the country clubs with free golf for life....and....well on and on. They cannot...BELIEVE it!

So don't fixate on a rumor that is inaccurate. What is the truth, if you look around is that there are a hell of a lot of old people living here absolutely having a ball.

That causes other people not living here to be jealous.

Not to worry Jimbo. Deep breaths.

Come join us in Lower Paradise.

Stop by and see us next trip down. We have a cold one waiting for you and the missus.
Gracie. The know it all.
