Will the POA every be the controlling entity of the Villages? I vowed to never live again in a community controlled by amateurs.
The fear of the VLSI withdrawing is a concern for many residents -- the "what happens to use after build out?" questions.

I'm not real familiar with Sun City or other large retirement communities, but I suspect Del Webb didn't stick around and run the place after he built it. The VLSI continues to wield an enormous amount of power here, which in many ways benefit the residents greatly, but which also means we live at their whim in some respects. My primary concern is their secrecy, cronyism, and what seems to be a "my way or the highway" attitude. I appreciate that the POA tries to draw back the curtain to see what the wizard is really up to. I may very well agree with what he's up to, but I do want to know.
