Whether the term "in their pocket" is inflammatory, or the IRS is a loathed organization, is not the point.
The point is, history has shown that individuals that are affected by these relationships, such as TV residents, are always better served in transparent arms-length transactions. And you should care.

Well, Kris, we don't care. Many of us here are on the "20 year plan" and many of us, less.
I see your agenda, please don't buy in The Villages, you will never be happy here. The are a few posters on TOTV that never should have bought a home here either. Doesn't make them wrong, doesn't make us wrong.
Life is too short for such angst when purchasing your retirement home. There are so many retirement homes in Florida that would meet your criteria and, unfortunately, you're too late to change the mindset of those of us that love it here during our very limited days.
I wish you well in your hunt for a home and to create further angst for your consideration of moving to The Villages, read Lauren Ritche's articles from the O Sentinel. You two would have a lot in common and I think you would realize this is the type of community structure you wouldn't be happy living in.
The rest of us will suffer on....
