I think that most of the criticism of what is WRONG with this place and the developer are based on envy and the fact that the Morses contribute to the party we aren't allowed to mention. The critics, most of them, don't belong to that party.
I think that some people are naïve to think that the goal of business is not to turn a profit.BUT In so doing, they employ people and keep the economy thriving as well as accumulate personal wealth. "Follow the Money" is an astute observation and also an unwarranted criticism.

In a nutshell, what you have said is that you are personally offended when people criticize actions of the developer, because he had a lot of good ideas and became rich. And further, if I read correctly, those that criticize the developer do so because they are jealous or because they don't belong to your political party quote: I think that most of the criticism of what is WRONG with this place and the developer are based on envy and the fact that the Morses contribute to the party we aren't allowed to mention.

Well, I feel this place is my hometown too, and I'd like to see it run the best it can be run. If that means noticing when things are not done right, and encouraging conversation on such topics, so be it. In the long run, that will make the Villages a better place. All in all, The Villages is a wonderful place to live, and we enjoy it here, but it is not perfect. I'm sorry you feel any comments that are critical to The Villages or to the Developer are politically motivated and that we are all so "jealous". You couldn't be more off base. And frankly, it just sounds like someone looking for excuses when reality and the facts don't stand up to independent scrutiny.
