So it appears no one is representing the resident's interest, legally at least. I presume if the ruling went against the district, and monies would have to be paid out out of district funds (money that came from the residents), that the resident's would have to file another class action lawsuit like they did back in 2008 to regain the money that would be rightfully theirs.
Money that would be rightfully theirs? I will link again to that lawsuit that you keep bringing up. Read this again please.

Villages developer to pay $40 million for recreation upgrades to settle a lawsuit - Orlando Sentinel

ANYONE CAN SUE ANYONE. As a result of this LAWSUIT some individuals who live here apparently got a LOT of money.


Elaine Driedame is the president of the POA.

The developers maintain the areas and create beautiful new ones that I see south of 466 without anyone sueing them. I often wonder about that lawsuit.
