We can't discuss anything beyond local politics, but on a larger scale who do we think donates what to whom and why?????
I so agree. I SO agree. Golfing Eagles sees, as I do, that people are gonna believe what they want to. I will add that I/We have lived here for eighteen years and freely communicated with the communities, read the paper, were and are active in several activities at the rec center and know and enjoy many, many residents as friends and rarely do I run into "Bad Developer Speak". I see the opposite. People buy here in droves because of how this place is run, among many other things. Sometimes people call it a "Benign Dictatorship" but they do it understanding how a CDD works and why there are rules. If a person is unhappy here, please don't try to change the excellent framework. Just sell your home and make a huge profit and go somewhere where YOU can run things if that is what you want to do.

wise words

I might also add, if you hate where you came from please don't try to turn this place into that place. You came here for a reason, relax and enjoy yourself.
