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.

Too many people accept what ever they are given and roll over. What a different world we would live in if our forfathers had accepted what those in authority had given to them. For example, Pilgrims escaped to America to get out of religious prosecution, or perhaps we would still have slavery if a particular element of society hadn't risen up against what they deemed to be a wrong. Jim Jones led hundreds to their deaths simply because they were apathetic to his directions. Any developer' priorities are to make money, surely it is apparent to all that the developers respect in developments is definately not directed to the residents. I hear over and over, "the developer has provided all these wonderful things for us" , true, but the purpose was and is to sell homes, not to make you happy.
