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.
To all of us this is our home, our neighborhood, and our retirement decision. To the developer, it is a business....they are in it to make money...that is what businesses do. Their decisions are based on what will or will not make money for them. They are putting out millions to make millions. Anyone moving here, hopefully has done their homework and already know this. It's a business!!
Also, how can anyone say that the Morses are not giving back to the community? Look around. It's beautiful. It's well maintained. Look at the new square. Mr Schwartz's vision is most definitely the current vision as well.
