Are there any such things out there anywhere we should know about that have been done by the developer here?
Maybe that would help all feel better if they knew more about the generosity shown when it did not directly benefit them. Don't think selling anyone a house here would qualify as an example.

How about helping the rest feel better and those that would just like to know and list for us just a few things or at least one thing, it sure could not hurt.
This way all would see that the loyalty and admiration a lot of folks have is not misguided nor misplaced..and it would provide an opportunity to prove so many wrong.
Please tell us some of the things the developers "give back"--unnecessarily--to "the little people" as noted above.
Please just note or give us a short list of the things done for others large or small that did not benefit (in some way) or put $$ into the pocket of the developer and that will do it. Maybe a large contribution to medical research or a homeless shelter.
There must be at least a few things since he was a 2.5 Billionaire some time ago per Bloomberg. It would sure help everyone to be a little more understanding.
EXAMPLE: Oprah Winfrey is a media mogul with a net worth of $2.7 Billion. In 2007, Oprah opened the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa, a boarding school for poverty-stricken girls. Must have cost quite a few dollars but nothing compared to her billions.
As far as buying here it wasn't free for anyone and there is still a fee for most everything so ALL purchasers have only added to the developers wealth by buying here.
We are just a customer to the developer and nothing more. He had a product he needs to sell to increase his wealth and we are the customers that bought his product.
A considerable profit was made on every sale just like any other development. Additional profits continue each month.
I did not expect anything free as nothing is but there were lots of things conviently kept quiet about or hidden that should have been made clear to any new buyer and finding out about those things afterwards just causes a lot of distrust.
We should also know and remember that if we fail to pay even a single required bill or fee we will be met with another fee called a late fee at a minimum and possibly even legal proceedings so where is the love in that?
Thanks
