It was always made perfectly clear to future buyers that the expansion would continue until the land owned down to Rt 44 was completed. Anyone who wrung their hands about this has nobody but themselves to blame.

This situation is different. A better analogy is buying into a health club or country club where the sellers tell you that membership will be capped at a certain figure. However, as that maximum number is approached, they decide to sell additional memberships. Would anyone complaining about that be accused of "wanting to close the door on a good thing"?

I have been as involved and as interested as any here and NO ONE told me what the ultimate plan was....a lot of villagers repeated a lot of stuff like it was gospel, but from the developer or his aides and assigns not a syllable.
