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.
Gracie, you are missing some important points. First not having other realtors in the Villages would only benefit the Developer by giving him a monoply. This would certainly adversly affect the Villagers....Competition is always good for the consumer.
And you not seeing the Morses not reinvesting back into the Villages. Harold Schwartz had a vision, I believe that vision was for him to live a good life and give back as much as possible to the Residents. It has clearly been documented that Gary Morse has accumulated the enormous wealth of 1.2 BILLION dollars. I am sorry, but a person who has a worth of 1200 MILLIONS certainly isn't putting back hat he could into the Villages community.
