Does anyone think that is fair. Remember the owner of the "Off Site" assisted living is in it for a profit it is not a charitable endeavor. So they would be riding off the back of the Developer. Then everyone gets upset when the Developer draws a line in the sand and wants some controls over the usage of his work. Of course if the Developer does not put a "Badge Controlled Gate" up for the Village residents then all bets off.!!! In addition the "Off Site Assisted Living" is in competition with the Developer and they are using his work to set up their business. Remember, it is a business. Have you priced the cost of entering one of these Assisted Livings. You will quickly learn that it is a business and not a "Religion".
(As aside: I see some use the terms "Drinking the Cool Aid" I am not sure if they know that is a direct reference to the many people who died at Johnstown and terribly disrespectable to those who had relatives or friends there and were poisoned. Although I don't personally know of anyone I still think it is appropriate to respect those that were poisoned and their relatives, etc.)
FAIR? there is little in life or about life that i can think of that is fair! but why go into a litany of that? the new assisted living complex has been known about and under construction for quite some time - not a new thing by any means. if, indeed, it was the golf cart access to that facility that put the burr under mr. morse's saddle, why did he just not explain that to villages residents and announce that he would be closing off that access point and give a short period of time for folks to adjust. instead with less than a day's posted and otherwise unannounced notice his people come at break of dawn and install the concrete curtain. i ask, where is the fairness in that?
