I think you may be correct on this.
I think, from reading this forum for a long time that JandBrare was attempting to tell us about the way the problem is being portrayed and I felt his assessment was fair.It has been in the past. I cringe to think what will happen to this place when the decision making is turned over to the residents. Any of you who have observed home owners organizations over time will know of what I speak. We need a GOOD watchdog organization for sure and well...sometimes I think both homeowners groups leave a little to be desired.
These sorts of things we need to know and we need to know them from people who have The Villages best interest at heart and sometimes I don't think that is the POA or the VHA. Each has it's issues and it's agenda.
I would not have known the back story if it wasn't for this forum.
You can see all of the work of replacement of underground watering systems along Morse north of 466. I have only observed good maintenance of properties since I have moved here. Barefoot has a valid point about the new areas but I think that the way things are handled in the very old areas north of 466 are different possibly due to their vote and the fact they are in Lake County. I am interested in what BKCunningham and NJbchbum have to say because they live there.
I know that I am unabashedly a fan of how things work here, and nothing I have read or observed has changed my mind in six years. Rose colored glasses or maybe cataracts. I don't know.
