When a mistake like this happens, they nearly jump for joy to pile on.
To me it is ugly. It takes down the whole community, does no good, and just throws dirt back into the faces of those who are ALWAYS negative.
If I felt the way that some did, about the way things are run, I would put my home up for sale, sell it in a couple of weeks, pocket the money and be on my way.

I ,too, have seen the same people posting over and over again how our benevolent dictator can do no wrong. Just because folks call out this guy for actions that are directed specifically to residents, with no regard for any hurt it may cause, does not mean they don't love it here. I have lived in many homes in the state of Florida and can tell you and all others from experience, that a builder does not have the resident's interest at heart. It is all about money. The only way to get concessions is to raise a little hell now and then,especially when you are right. Granted, he is a great businessman, but maybe a little egotistic and callous now and then.
The action taken was not a mistake, it was planned at best, or a knee jerk reaction at worst. What was in fact the mistake was the miscalculation of the firestorm that would erupt. Thank God for those that have the guts to stand up against money and greed to see the right thing done..That is what makes this country and community so great, not a developer.
