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.  |
Pennbf...that is how business is run. The businesses DON'T HAVe to rent here. AND if I owned The Villages, I wouldn't share with outside realtors. Only the outside realtors are beefing about that..not most of us residents.
No one on this forum that I can think of is mocking people who grieve the loss of parades, but this poll of people who post on this forum shows that well over half won't miss the parades. It well may be that the rest of the people are really upset about this, but I haven't heard it from the people I know. But I am often wrong.
Parades? Who wants them? Would not miss them.
I just don't see that AGAINST is the word I would use here in your quote. "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."
And I don't see that the Morses " TAKE and not give" or "don't reinvest the profits back into The Villages." or " don't give a hoot or holler about The Villages in the first place".
But what if all you say is 100 per cent true. So far no other entity has come up with anything as good as this...not by a long shot..So if Gary Morse is really Attilla the Hun...This old lady still thinks he is smart as can be and she is glad he built The Villages so she could spend this part of her life here.
