I believe you've just insulted everyone associated with The Villages; the Morse family for getting and executing a great idea that also made them a lot of money and anyone who decided to purchase a home in TV for being duped into giving their money away.

Frankly, I think most senior citizens are bright enough to do their due diligence before purchasing their homes and have figured out that the amenity fee and other fees cover the cost of maintaining the golf courses along with other community assets.
