When a developer is competing in the real estate development corporate world, they need to compete on level ground in the area in which they develop. It's my understanding this development is not the only one in Florida that used these tax-exempt bonds for financing. Should the Morse family not use the tax-exempt bonds for financing if other developers are using them? Equal financial footing is critical to be successful in property development.
This is from the 2007 letter to the residents from the Developer:
Villages‘ residents seem to divide up into 3 basic groups:
Group 1 is the silent group. They love
living here. They don‘t want to bother
with anything. They just want to enjoy the
golden years of their retirement.
Group 2 wants to help. They love living
here and believe they can improve The Villages
by working with their developer.
They gravitate to the VHA.
Group 3 – they love living here. But,
they believe that the developer‘s goal is to
take advantage of the residents. They believe
they can improve The Villages by
challenging the developer and fighting for
residents‘ rights. They gravitate toward the
POA.
We find ourselves in the second group and believe in the Morse family's dedication to The Villages and believe they are doing their best to make this the best retirement area in the world.

Hi Peachie: You have taken an article written by the Developer back in 2009 as I recollect and have done so verbatim.
Please once again the POA IS NOT ANTI DEVELOPER and anyone suggesting so has learned the benefits of the a Saul Alinsky tactics.
They are using this same tactic to confuse pro-active activities undertaken by the POA to protect homeowners such as the siding issue, roofing issue etc. They are using this tactic to mischaracterize the negotiations that are necessary to come to an agreement. How else do you believe the POA can operate. I mean they have not threatened to burn the place down if the Developer doesn't comply.
Is a wife anti husband if she has a beef with her spouse? No she is asserting what she believes is right.
Does one person's response reflect an entire organization? And should or can that organization be held responsible to what some people think.
The POA has never in the years I have lived here ever said or acted derogatorily toward the Developer but only addressed the issues that they believe were not in the best interests of residents. I know what I am talking about here.
There was much so called negativity concerning the recent "Berlin Wall" Did the POA create it or try and resolve it to everyone's best interests? By the way I was vocal for the wall and disagreed with the POA.
Please stop these mischaracterizations they are not fair and they are destructive to us all.
Personal Best Regards:
