The villages is not a cruise ship
I can only speak for myself. I have no personal malice toward the Developer ( Villages Lake Sumter, Inc), the AAC, Janet Tutt, POA, VHA.
I do have a business interest in every finanical transaction involving residents and me.
In this situation I would like to know what financial affect it has on residents and what residents? The financial Loss of this mistake
Who created the error? How the error can be prevented from happening again. And what can be done to contain damages?
The biggest obstacle I see is that some residents always default to "you just don't like the Developer" I cringe every time I read that statement because it is nonsensical irrelevant and doesn't do one thing to help us keep our financial house in order.
If you look closely at the leadership that is suppose to be prioritizing this communities needs you will see and hear that they act as if they were planning activities for people on a cruise line. This is one of the PROBLEMS associated with viewing THE VILLAGES as a VACATION DESTINATION rather than a RETIREMENT COMMUNITY. We have heavily invested our retirement dollars here as the last place many of us will settle.
The "You can live like a millionaire on your retirement saving" slogan is fool hearty, naive' and misrepresents the objectives and goals needed to sustain a viable community.
Residents might fair better if they would approach this as their home rather than a Disneyworld because it is affecting their common sense and good judgment
