When you post “I Believe” really means you are guessing what May or may not be true.

Did you not move to a active community to keep you busy enough. I would think since you are in the small percentage of the unhappy that chose to move, one would find a website geared to where you live now.

I have to agree. A few people move out and never stop griping. I have been watching TV for 15 years and owned for almost 10. This is what I see-
The "kids" are no different than Harrold Scwartz of their Dad, they are just even better business people. There is really not much difference between what they are doing than what was done when they built Amelia, or Hillsborough. Yeah, they are tweaking the formula a bit, but anyone who can look at the investment they are making in new schools and say they don't care needs their head examined. They are building as fast as the market will bear, providing huge amounts of area employment, and a wonderful place for all of us to live.


Seriously, not a lot has changed. Minor stuff yes, but anyone who thinks Harrold or Gary were saints is participating in revisionist history. They were just as much business people as the current group.

The one thing I do agree with that someone says is I wish they did not do rentals on AirBNB. Not sure monthly minimums make sense, but the weekly rentals promote some of the wrong type of renters.... At least that is what I see.

Perhaps you’re right only Villagers should be known as gripers.

I agree. I wish they wouldn't have short term rentals. We have a few in our neighborhood.

Comparing Richmond and points South in The Villages, is an entire different world than the more traditional areas of TV. The South is not the same and never will be.

I agree the South is much better!!!!

Totally, I’m just worried about the explosion of off site housing. But, we do have a new square being built around a lake and island called Eastport (likely another Lake Sumter but improved). Hopefully the retail addition of 500 acres won’t cause additional problems? All must be expected I suppose. Yes, the southern villages definitely seems to be the better option.

I agree that the First Responders course is better than the two South, but it's a heck of a ride up there.
