Where is the POA on the Hacienda Hills apartments and redevelopment plan? The giving away of amenity fees? I thought they were suppose to be "The POA is the largest and ONLY true advocacy organization in The Villages, Champions for Residents’ Rights since 1975." Not a peep. Nothing from the AAC meeting. No position paper on their website. Nothing on this site or others? Seems like they have let down the members on this one. I'll remember this with they come knocking to dues next time

I wouldn’t give up on them yet.

What do you expect them to do?

As usual vote yes to anything developers want, well, 4 or 5. One has residents in mind especially the ones the brought on the golf course.

If it were an amenity (rec center, exec golf course) You betcha they'd have something to say about it. Maybe they're keeping quiet for the moment, because it was a "country club" and not a rec center? The La Hacienda Rec Center and Pool are still intact, and still beautiful.

Honestly I don't know why they haven't at least posted an opinion somewhere about it. But that would be my guess.

They were not part of the amenities. The Morse Family owned that property. They offered it to District 2 to buy and they said no. So it was torn down instead and something new will now be built on that site.

Apartments are needed - but feel bad for people around them and golf course

A related question is, Where is the VHA? There was a disappointing lack of an uproar by either organization.

A related question is, Where is the VHA on this question? Both organizations should have taken a position.

Because?

The POA will think before they act.

Agree since they represent us.

Well, a representative from the VHA was in attendance at the AAC meeting and they did speak regarding this project. No speaker identified themselves’s as representing the POA. The POA openly brags about taking on the developer. Guess they forgot in this case...

This is the part no one hears
It was never part of our amenities. It is owned by the developer. So technically we have no say. It was offered for sale and it was declined. Are there other options now?

Blame the 4 AAC MEMBERS MORE SHEEP!
