]This is a subject that have been the minds of many residents for a good number of years. Based on the regulations upon which this development is being built and funded the Developer has a legal obligation to relinquish control of residential districts to residents. the Developer (Villages of Lake Sumter, Inc.) will continue to own and operate the commercial district.

In order to have a government consisting of a mayor, etc The villages would need to incorporate. If The Villages incorporated then it would become a part of lady Lake, etc wherein the amenities would be open to all residents of Lake, Marion and Sumter counties.

Much to my surprise and delight I actually have come to believe that The Villages government is working quite well. In fact so far I believe it operates better than our federal government and actually knows and follows a budget. How much credit the Developer gets for this operation is unknown to me. However, if he has considerable sway then I hope he continues

As for The Villages landscaping I also believe it is being handled well. Keep in mind weeds have been prolific ll around the country due to the warm damp weather.

Concerning too big. I prefer to deal with the issues of bigness rather than the issues of abandonment because a development failed.
