Trying to understand Who controls what
 

If I understand it correctly, and please someone correct me if I am wrong as I am a TV hopeful. When a person buys a home in TV they purchase the land as well. Correct? Is there an annual agreement that has to be signed allowing you to stay another year? If "the family" gets really mad at you can they force you to sell and move out? Is there any type of elected directors that manage the business of TV? It seems to me with over 40K homes the Villages could be come its own town with a fully elected government. How much control does the family have over the residents? If the residents do not like something that the family is doing is there anyway to fix the problem? I currently own in a similar development and I have seen a number of times where things start going bad and no one takes notice until it has gone really bad. Most of the people just want to have a good time and do not worry about things until it is almost to late.

When you purchase a home you purchase the land as well. This is not purchase the structure, lease the land as in some other communities. There is no annual agreement to be signed. There is this web site with various links that will possibly give you some answers to your other questions without any commercials to look at http://thevillagesfl.blogspot.com/

Look up the Villages CDDs in wikipedia. I have posted some information on a newer thread.
