Please not in this thread! Search for the countless (and endless) threads on climate change, EVs, or electric carts for the elaboration.

It’s just the usual weekly arguments. You’re new, but hang around long enough and it becomes pretty clear.

Having said that the developer is smarter than the rest of us having others pay for things he benefits from.

The family is made up of brilliant businessmen and women who have built this great place and this is why they are billionaires and we are not.
Fixed it for ya.

And there nothing we can do about it so might as worry about something else like homeowners insurance.

“These Capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert to fleece the people”. Abraham Lincoln 1-11-1837. When the Capitalist entity is public you can get in on the profits by buying their stock but that is not the case when it’s private. Back to the OP’s question about the Boardwalk at Sumter Landing…

I suppose a decision could be made to just demolish the Boardwalk and that might (don’t know for sure) be cheaper than building a new Boardwalk. Maybe the Developer would rather put some “skin in the game” rather than have the Boardwalk demolished. Maybe not. I wouldn’t know the legal issues with such a decision as that is above my pay grade. Just a thought.

Just as with the Brownwood windmill and water tower, there is a signed agreement that obligates the PWAC/PWF to repair/replace the boardwalk to its original condition. It cannot just be demolished, it must be replaced. This was made clear by the Developer when a similar idea was discussed regarding the Brownwood structure.

Did we sign such an agreement when we closed on our properties?

Only you know what you signed. Even if I did, there is not much public common area on my property to be maintained with PWF.
