To clarify a point, the VCDD is merely an acronym for all the Community Development Districts. See Acronyms at districtgov.org. So, not being a legal entity, the VCDD cannot own property. The VCCDD is the Villages Center Community Development District, which encompasses Spanish Springs; so the property would apparently be deeded to the VCCDD under the proposal.

More importantly, the VHA does not represent "all homeowners in the Villages." It is an organization whose inception was sponsored by the Developer and which continues to be subsidized by the Developer in an obvious effort to weaken the POA. I view with some skepticism the Daily Sun's story about the VHA's going to the Developer with the solution to the wall controversy. In reality, it seems that the Developer, after surrepticiously erecting the wall in the middle of the night, backed down in the face of public outrage.

Janet Tutt, by the virtue of her position, does technically represent all homeowners in The Villages. However, given the structure of government here, it is unlikely that she is ever going to do anything except follow the Developer's lead in any controversies between the homeowners and the Developer.
