That is not my understanding of the issue.

I think a lot of people come on this forum and say nine times this or that and throw glittering generalities and unverified information around just to put down the developer.

I don't know any of the developers or their families but I didn't fall off the turnip truck and all I can see is a well run organization for very little amenity fee.

I think a lot of the nastiness is just class envy.

But I could be wrong. Old Gary could be sly as a fox and mean as a snake. But he sure as heck knows how to build pretty stuff for old people.
