It is NOT Parades. They are the tip of the iceberg. It is all
ENTERTAINMENT activities. It is music at the squares, it is supporting any clubs that may be tied to the entertainments new Consultant and so on. It is the developer taking profits out of the Village's (e.g. Retail store rental assessments, Some recreation center revenue, blocking other Reality firms from some parts of business..restriction resale realestate to his pockets, etc.etc.) and not reinvesting some of his profits back into the Villages. These are the things to look forward to vis a vis The Villages. Of course he has the right to all of these things but taking and not giving is allegedly a sign they did not give a hoot nor hollar about the Villages in the first place. If as it is alleged that a person who lives outside of the Villages is now the one in total control of the Village entertainment and this was given up by the Developer without any assurance of basic protection against an abuses then faith has been totally lost and The Villages are essentially a new type of community for over 55's.
Those who mock the ones that are concerned with the shut down of Parades are the same ones who will scream like a stuffed pig when they lose their favorite entertainment.
NET: These are very broad issues and deserve not only attention by all but
also appropriate reactions when the policies are implemented against The
Village residents.
