You will reap the benefits of the POA's deligent work without you lifting a finger. You who trashed Hometown Democracy get some information about what is at stake. Can you really live in the "dark". Again thank God our country's founding fathers dared to care and make a difference and not just live the Lifestyle dictated and set by the English.

I'm sorry we commoners are so dumb and naive. Thank God the POA is there to protect us from the greedy developer and tell us what is good for us. Obviously anyone who questions Hometown Democracy is ignorant (and lazy). Thank God for the POA! They're not like those booklicking board members of the CDDs who were appointed by . . . um, a, wait a minute . . . oh, those guys were elected by the residents. But it doesn't matter, since they're not the POA. If they don't do what we want, they're kowtowing.
And of course, there's the infernal VHA. It's all their fault, 'cuz they're not the POA. The two organizations have entirely different reasons for existing. Yes, the VHA was created by the developer for fill a need, to act as a liaison between residents and TV management. The VHA reps answer resident's questions about operations and, if needed, provide a source to contact for assistance. If the rental house next door is unkempt, a lot of folks wouldn't know whom to contact. The VHA rep provides that info. Want to do some major landscaping, the VHA rep will tell you how to get it approved. Need a loaner wheel chair, walker, or crutches, call the VHA rep. A lot of residents know all this stuff, but a lot don't. If there is an issue affecting the community at large, the VHA tries to get the word out. No, the VHA doesn't picket the sales office and doesn't sue the developer. That's not their purpose. Leave that to the POA. It's their speciality. And they're good at it.
