Default My Thoughts

Has it occurred to anyone here that IF the IRS prevails that it may just all fall on the developer alone? Then what will the nay-sayers have to say about the developer?

Who took the risk to develop this place? Certainly none of us. How could the developers possibly have known for sure that if they built all this that it would be a sure-shot? As I see it, we really don't have anything to lose.

I remember when they had their troubles in Montana how people here were so worried about what ramifications we would all suffer if they lost in court. They lost and that was the end of that; no impact here other than criticisms of how they got into trouble in the first place and what scoundrels they are.

I don't know them, but I do appreciate their ability to do business. They have done many things here that they didn't have to do. The land for the VA Clinic comes to mind, for one. I'm sure it generates business for them in various ways but not having to constantly travel to Leesburg or Gainesville is a big plus for lots of folks here.

Let's worry about the issues facing each of us everyday and not so much about something over which we have no control. It still beats the heck out of any place else we've lived since retirement or considered. Comparison shopping is always an option.
