Ok, let's get back on topic and ignore the red herring about real estate listings.

Whatever happens regarding the gate will not interfere one iota in the pleasure I derive from living here.

Gary Morse gave me this lifestyle ???? THEN; Why did I pay more for my home here than I would have in Stonecrest, Why do I pay monthly Amenity fees, Why do I pay $120 per month just for water when 4/9ths of the water is to keep an easement along the streets green, Why do I pay a lawn care guy to mow this same easement property, Why do I pay a yearly special assessment and Why do residents pay the highest green fees within 20 miles to play Villages Championship courses. I am thinking hard, but just cannot come up with much that Gary has given me.

A lot of things to complain about..........................You do know how to fix all those problems, right?

I am not sure if you have ever heard of a disk jockey named "The Greaseman". He would give you some sage advice on what to do if you are not happy here.

Later the question was asked again, �why was the wall put up and by who� she returned to the mike and answered, �I do not know�.

In Michigan we would say she is lying.

So she pled the FIFTH?

Beats me..maybe because you thought this was the best place to live
Maybe because you found this more desirable than other places.
Only you can say why you chose to live here. I chose it because after 10 years of visiting, renting and looking all over the country I could not find anything that suited my purpose and lifestyle choices for this price. Don't think Gary gave me anything but value for my investment.

No, you tell me, I am interested in what Mr Morse has "given" me as compared to what I pay to have. I don't think my comments were so much complaints as they were in response to another's posting about what Gary has "given" me. Given, as in free, no cost.

Mr Morse did not give you anything...he made it available to you by his foresight, investments and ingenuity. You chose to buy into what he offered. If you are not happy, perhaps you made bad investment.

I did not say I did not enjoy living here, Why is it so difficult to understand I was responding to another post in which the auther praised Gary Morse for what he had given that poster. The key word was given, I have not been given anything, I pay Mr Morse and others a premium for my lifestyle here. I provide employment, I keep restaurants in business, I keep medical facilities humming, golf courses etc etc etc

Warren,

It makes me feel so good to know that someone has a purpose in life. A ray of sunshine in an otherwise bleak world. You've made my day so much more pleasant. Thanks.

So you actually agree with me. Didn't say I was unhappy, not at all !!! You said exactly what I stated, I quote you, "Mr. Morse did not give you anything "
