As I have said before, I am sometimes quite surprised by people who really don't understand how most business works. They may have taught, worked for the government, or some other institution, and be very, very smart people,.......
Business is fluid. The economy appears to be on the upswing, where a couple of years ago when plans were made it was on the downturn.
I do not think anyone ever spoke "ex cathedra" about when the building would stop. Some sales reps may have run their mouths, but I don't think the decision makers ever said it. Final Phase, a selling tactic, could go on for years. Just like life does.
One of the things we residents like to talk about is how long is the building going to go on. I have heard contractors opine, and many villagers, but where was it officially written, the build out year or goal, that you should feel so betrayed?
Think about the positives of continued growth. The teams of contractors still employed, taking care of their families and paying taxes, their children attending the charter schools.
Workers not on the welfare rolls.

Is this official video by senior executives not indicative of what the official plan was:
The Villages Past, Present, and Future
Count how many times the term "final" was used.
You may be surprised how many people "don't understand" how business works. I am surprised how many people are willing to overlook it when a business doesn't live up to its commitment. A quality business, once it commits to a customer, will live up to that commitment - even if it loses money to do so.
