the developer also makes substantial income from real estate commissions on resale home which are listed with the Developer-owned listing service. They also sold the out-lots of land for commercial development at corners & along major thoroughfares. Plus they may have sold land to local, county & state government for roadways & other public utilities.

And the developer owns The Villages television, radio & newspaper. Also, the tradesmen & new home materials suppliers may pay fees to the developer to be an exclusive supplier. The developer exclusively controls every CCD until 50% of homes are sold.

Who cares? None of the above is related to the OP's question.

If you want to start a thread about how many different profit centers the Developer has, go for it.

TOTV threads often go off on tangents

1. The developer makes lots of money
2. The developer sells a way of life/lifestyle
3. The developer employs a whole lot of people
4. The developer pays a whole lot of taxes and Florida and it's counties have major tax revenues as a result
5. The developer's income/wealth has no effect on me
6. If the developer's income bothered me, I am free to move elsewhere because I live in a free country
7. Thousands of lives are enhanced in a positive way due to the developer's plan

We are also free to discuss it on TOTV. Don't look if it bothers you
