Realist, Recluse, Raconteur, Runner, Rocker? I'm not exactly sure what you mean.

Or perhaps the other way around. We all realize Blechman had an agenda which is certainly not mine since I side strongly with the politics of the developer and plan on moving to a 55 and over active adult community. Nonetheless, Andrew did his homework and dug up and presented in his rather entertaining book some very important information, information I would certainly want as a potential future villager. I am the sort of person who whenever possible makes informed decisions. Others may not agree with them but I am the one who must live with them. Just for starters this particular chapter I found to concisely sum up the CDD structure possibly unique to TV, that the central districts which contain no residents are controlled by the developer AND they control the CDDs which contain residents. That is very important to know and understand, at least to me.

I don't disagree with what you say and I think Gary Morse is a genius. I'm not saying you shouldn't refer to it. However, I have noticed that "Leisureville" in the hearts and minds of a certain group in TV and among those who comment here on TOTV find Leisureville to be practically satanic. You don't make a lot of friends here by quoting it or agreeing with anything that Blechman postulates and you WILL hear about it if you do.
If you push away from Blechman's obvious bias, he DOES bring up some very interesting points. However, it is NOT a popular book to refer to here.

I THINK what some people object to is the premise that an older person should stay "put" and enrich their surroundings rather than grabbing some "selfish" happiness for themselves. No one I knows HATED it...they felt it was an attempt to earn a little money for Mr. Blechman...which it did.

The POA Bulleton listed the 3 points of contention between the IRS and the TV CCDs. The IRS states the value of the property transfered from the Developer to the CCD meets thi requirements of the IRS, thus answering the question of Point 2. Both Points 1&3, still need to be settled. Please read the POA Bulletin to become informed about the lingering problems between the IRS and the TV CCDs.

Furthermore, let me say, once again, that I think that The Villages is a great place to live and that the Developer has done an amazing job in planning, building, and maintaining The Villages. Of course, how the Developer has financed all this is what the IRS is questioning. You are correct as to the vast majority of my posts being on the subject of the IRS investigation. This is because: I only like to post on subjects that I know something about, rather than posting on every subject that comes up in the forum. The IRS investigation is a subject that I do I think I understand pretty well. It is also one that is important to all Villagers, and one that I believe has been poorly reported (to put it mildly) by the Daily Sun and the VHA Bulletin. |
