Reality
 

I believe it is both prudent and correct to assume the Developer did not get fined $40M just over "mold". Also, in a response there was no mention regarding the establishment of the VHA and it being a penalty to the POA for supporting the residents? Fairness is critical when writing and asserting any point. There must be limits to using omissions to avoid "reality". :ohdear:

I wasn't there. Fairness IS critical when writing and asserting any point.

That articles says that those involved were muzzled. We will never really know, but there is a back story somewhere.

I know Sumter County has been much more hospitable to The Villages than Lake.

How many places did they try to have the case heard? So much about this whole thing is not clear to me.

I wish SOMEONE would write an honest history of The Villages.

Skip? Where are you when we need you?

Sorry, I forgot that there are two different Spruce Creeks. That also answers my question about golf carts getting here from Spruce Creek.

The people from Spruce Creek on the west bound side of 27/441 do not have to use the Paradise gate to enter the Villages as far as I can tell.

Sorry. There are currently three different threads on this same subject. I obviously forgot which one I was in. The posts referred to are indeed in this thread.

'Take Down the Wall' protest - **************

I did not post the message to hurt Rubicon...was just confused as to it's content as it seems to be quite the opposite of his TOTV post. Hope he finds the culprit who is using his moniker.

Really? You think that 104,000 makes a difference compared to 100,000?

But I do think that it is probable that the Villages uses the populations of Summerfield, Belleview, Fruitland Park, Wildwood and Leesburg to sell commercial properties as we attract customers, in cars, from all those communities.

For those of you who may not understand how big the Villages is, it is bigger than Ocala and Leesburg combined. I don't think that it's that much of an advantage for businesses in the Villages to be near those communities as is it for businesses in the surrounding communities to have the Villages nearby.

Rubicon: I sent you a PM. And, as you will see, it looks like someone is definitely using your moniker.

Are the members of the VHA not residents of The Villages? Do they not have a neighborhood representative in every neighborhood that represents the residents of those neighborhoods? Are all of those representatives pawns of the developer as well?

You can have your opinion, but I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't state it as fact.

pawns? yes
 

As should you.............Frankly, I don't care WHAT you appreciate...I'VE SEEN YOUR VERSION OF THE FACTS CHANGE SEVERAL TIMES DURING THIS DISCUSSION.

Wow, your comment is not productive or kind at all. Please be civil, and Winston is trying his best as always to have productive discussions. Thanks

Again, please, stay on topic and do NOT direct comments at other site members. Respect and civility are expected.
