They do have tremendous business acumen and have showed absolute genius in building a wonderful place for retirees to my live. From time to time, however, the Developer has tried to improperly profit at the expense of the Villagers. In those instances, the POA has stepped in on behalf of Villagers and rectified, or attempted to rectify, the situation.

BTW, it continues to amuse me that some posters here continue to attack the class-action lawsuit. Not one of these attackers, however, has returned his or her share of the settlement proceeds to the Developer.
That fuels my membership in POA, the way they keep on top of these "glitches" for want of a better term, regarding the Developer, and act in our best interests. I am not attacking the Developer, but these things have happened for whatever reason, and need to be rectified. The POA has been the organization that has kept tabs on things, documented the problems and initiated action when needed. That is huge.
