Default I worry about carpet ******* for lack of a better word.

I don't know how to phrase it but I worry about offsite landlords buying up tons of resales and renting them out. Two, or three or four or even five homes owned by a responsible villager that is onsite most of the time is good, but people who are not of our demographics with ONLY a view to make money coming in and buying property to make this a vacation destination really worries me.

But what worries me more is that it does become a place where villagers run it . We will go down the tube fast when that happens. We will take the amenity funds and build all of the things that each person wants until we are overspent and underwater and then have to raise the amenity fees until it isn't the reasonable amount that allows almost everyone to afford to live here. We will have indoor pools and performance centers and dog parks and charging centers for golf carts and people will be able to freely drive their golf cart to Miami and Miami folks will be able to drive their golf carts here and the average age will become thirty and we will see signs all about for three golf carts in every garage and chicken in every pot. Whoops...I got a little carried away there. But it would be UGLY.

I do not want to see the inmates running this asylum.

Love live the king.
