Talk Host, my rating is a 9.8 and I know the developer and staff will pass along negative comments about TOTV only because they don't control it!

I have said MANY times that I wouldn't choose to live anywhere else. I LOVE the Villages. That being said, I am very unhappy about how things are handled here. The developer turns a blind eye to any difficulty and would like nothing better than to advertise the millionaire lifestyle in paradise! None of that advertising is true. We are real people living in a real world. The developer, current developer, is not Mr. Schwartz who designed this community for the people. The current family members are simply in it for the money.

From what I have heard from friends who have lived in the historic side for MANY years, Mr. Schwartz was a wonderful and caring man who wanted ALL the comments, good and bad. If he thought your problem should be his, he handled it. Sad to say that his family don't run the business as he did.

Just as Sam Walton was a buy American guy, the owners now of Wal-Mart sell almost all goods made in third world countries that are of a lesser quality, ensuring the lower price.

Mr. Schwartz would probably not be happy to see how thing are today but that being said, his concept lives and TV is a wonderful place to live.....in spite of the developer.

We don't need a place to vent! This is not venting. As Jan said, this is reality and the developer could do himself a favor by reading the threads on this site and attempt to solve the issues instead of burying them.

'nuf said by me. Closing I say, come one and come all. You won't find a better community anywhere in this United States. Freedom of Speech is costly and I indend to use my share of that freedom!!! :bigthumbsup:
