Perhaps they could tone down the lawsuit mentions, although they are the group that initiated the action that resulted in those north of 466 having sufficient funds to repair, replace, and remodel amenities that we all can use.

But I didn't take the rest of the paper as being unnecessarily negative. With regard to the shingles fiasco, I agree with their assertions that the developer has not performed as well as possible. Warranty knows which homes had the defective type of shingles installed. Why weren't the owners notified there may be a problem? Why did homeowners have to hear about the problem word of mouth? Why didn't the developer use his significant clout to pressure OC to inspect and replace in a timely manner so that both shingles and removal/installation were done within the warranty period and at no cost to the homeowner that had, with the purchase of the home, already paid for them?

As far as seatbelts in carts, it is obvious the POA recommends them. There are plenty of folks who deny they help prevent ejections. Ejections from carts are the cause of most cart injuries. The continual reporting of these injuries may just convince more people to install and use seatbelts, or at least drive more carefully.

The POA performs an important function in this community. You may quibble about their words, but I'm glad they are watching out for all of us.

And, no, I'm not a past or present POA officer. Just a homeowner who loves it here and appreciates what the developer has created, but is aware there are blemishes on the Mona Lisa.
