Wait and see….due to the pandemic and supply chain issues the cost will suddenly triple.

Welcome to the Villages!

I honestly thought the destressed look was intentional.

This is a mere drop in the bucket of what we pay for to live in this GREAT place! Projects like this have happened and will go on forever in this huge development.

Either you adapt and stay...or you sell and go. We all made/will make that choice.

The Morse family is worth 100s of millions of dollars.......and growing.
Look at the southern growth...more and more houses -- little or no infrastructure.
Why? Money, money, money.

If they are not doing their jobs then the township should end up being sued and paid for replacing these or does anyone else have any common Sense ideas and how to get things done here. I certainly wouldn't trust the builders with my home without getting something inspected by the county and townships building departments.

What townships?

Looks like you're not from here. Brownwood is in Wildwood . If you would have read the whole thread before posting you would have seen GoldWingNut's post: Both are owned by the Brownwood CDD (a unit of local government not a private entity - aka the developer) and are included in Exhibit A of the Project Wide Agreement as are most of the public/entertainment areas in both LSL and BW. So, under the terms of the Project Wide Agreement the maintenance will fall to the Project Wide Fund.

The whole articial cowtown motif is ridiculous anyway. The less of it, the better! Get rid of the structures.

Let's not forget they just cleaned the cowboy for $9000.

That is why your state taxes are lower because common charges will pay for exterior structure. that is why people are complaining about what is happening in Orlando's major theme park and one of the reasons buying in an area were the state pays from your taxes for exterior replacement and repairs like roads, water main, water tower,

Maybe it's only millions in liquid cash.

Thank you. My feelings.

Go look at any other senior communities around the country, and see what "not doing maintenance" looks like. The fact that The Villages are kept in good repair and updated help our home values stay up. The Villages are attractive and that is a big part of why I moved here.

I agree with this post... (even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while... )

Risk all your money, start your own village, and be happy. You are obviously much smarter than the developer. But you might find people will bitch and complain about your every move.

(Sorry for being so salty... I've been sick for a week)

I completely agree. I expect the only reason they stay is so they have something to bitch about. If they went anywhere else it would be perfect and they would be bored.
