Stonecrest is welcome to come to our restaurants and shops and we're happy they can drive in and do that, the only requirement is that they use the public roads to do so. This may explain why the Morse's enclosed that, "hole in The Villages wall". (Yes, I know it was a fence piece that was placed there.)

I know the Stonecrest issue upsets some residents of the Villages, but I don't think that was the reason the wall went up. If that was the case, it would have gone up long ago.

I never had issue with Mr. Morse. I thought he was a great businessman and some of the things which were done could have been for business reasons (like closing of the country club restaurants - although disappointing). To goal to make money is one of the reasons people get into business. He built a wonderful place to live!

But - the lack of communication from his team regarding the reasons why they placed the wall up to the residents was a poor decision on his part. I understand why people are upset and they have the right to be. My biggest fear is what will be next.....
