I have been a fan of democracy for all of my life. This place is so well run that it has given me pause.
And Mickey...do I remember that you have not decided yet whether you want to live here? You must do what feels comfortable for you.
Many of us have evaluated what we see and hear and voted with the most significant outlay of cash; buying a home here.
I do not see evidence that there is any mishandling or misappropriation on the part of the developers. They have made money. That is the reason you go into business. As I understand it, the IRS is investigating if the interest on the bond can be tax free.
I would hate to see the CDD system fail and stop due to their inquiry, just because I love the way things are done here. It is the most clean and to me perfectly run place, I have ever lived.
I am very selfish because this is an usually wonderful place to live and I NEVER dreamed that my golden years would be this much fun.
I hope that the CDD form of government will continue until I too exit stage right, hopefully to the village of Heavenly. 
We are NOT the only CDD in Florida. It is a unique concept for sure and ours is by far the most successful.
I think the Morses are making tons of money. Good. I will help them stack it. Who ever thought that the center of Florida in a huge sinkhole area and the lightning capital of the country would be lower Paradise.
Works for me. |
As usual, Gracie stated it so eloquently. Works for me too Gracie! Sure beats the depressing skies for 8 mos/yr where I lived for my 1st 60 years because we enjoy not only the Florida sunshine but the bustling hub of activity comprised of our peers, and most are happy smiling faces. My prior life was indoors until June with cold and gray skies. The bond issue is a minor concern but my property taxes here are half of what I paid in NY for more house here plus I am not paying NYS 6.9% income tax so whatever happens with the bond issue won't come close to the savings I am enjoying.
