I do not feel I have lost anything, only gained new things to do and see as we grow, and as we grow, some of our group activities may have to be rethought such as the parades filling the squares and leaving no room for people.
What do the ALWAYS ANONYMOUS naysayers have to gain, I constantly wonder. Do they not live here, and are jealous, do they work for competitive areas, or outside businesses? Do they just dislike the developer because he is successful and very rich?
It is not a sin to be rich.

Gracie, It is currently in vogue to criminalize being wealthy. This whole brewhaw has started because the developer is spinning off various parts of the Villages and those parts are now going to be net income producing. WHAT A SURPRISE!
I think some of the posters are just as mad at themselves as they are the developer...they assumed certain free entertainments would continue ad infinitum.
If these features were that critical to their purchases, they should have performed their due diligence, however all too many did not even use an attorney at their closings. They depended upon the "goodwill" of their agents.
Maybe it is time to do now what they should have done back when; get in writing what will continue free and how it is to be paid for. This really is simple. It is just business and with 80,000 homes, almost any kind of entertainment can be very affordably acquired. There is no free lunch.
