[QUOTE=twinklesweep;868817]The developer is a businessman, not a charitable organization. He is in business to make money, period, and he does so by selling a quality product that up to this point has consistently been in high demand. I would think that most Villagers bought here in recognition of the quality of the product being offered, with sinkholes NOT being a part of the equation (and they are certainly NOT limited to TV).QUOTE]

While my comment is not the gist of most of yours, I must respond to you saying that we are living in a "quality" home.

You are correct -- Mr. Morse is a true businessman -- a very, very shrewd businessman. He has his hands in everything -- far more than just our houses, and not even just limited to the geographical area of TV. He put in all the right eye-candy here to attract buyers, and it has worked.

The majority of residents are living here because of the quality of the lifestyle available here, not the quality of the construction. The contractors and subcontractors are under tight controls, and unfortunately, we do not always get a top notch job because they are forced to squeeze the almighty dollar so tightly. We are not here because of the quality of the construction which is, unfortunately, just average.

On the plus side, we knew most of this before we signed on the dotted line and with it all, are happy to be here. I will also note that there are far more sinkholes in the Ocala area than we have here. Thankfully, what has happened here has been minimal, although I feel so sorry for those who have had to deal with that problem.
