He gave you an opportunity to buy in here and enjoy this wonderful lifestyle. If Mr Morse had not given us that opportunity, we would not have so many of the things that we happily pay for.

And I don't understand all of this home prices here being higher than everywhere else. I've look around and I don't see it. But if it is true, it comes down to the most three important things in real estate, location, location and location.

Nor do I understand the complaining about utility bills being higher here. My water and electric are less here than any place I've ever lived.

Mr Morse has made billions by giving people the opportunity to have a wonderful lifestyle for a reasonable price. If the cost of living here was not a good value, 100,000 people would be living elsewhere.

I provide employment, I keep restaurants in business, I keep medical facilities humming, golf courses etc etc etc
I understand your point but here is where I differ. Yes, we pay for our homes and yes, we pay amenity fees etc. However Mr Morse came up with a unique life style which is unavailable anywhere else that I know of. He has put forth an amazing amount of cash investment, time and inguneity to make
TV what it is today. He might have made a lot of money and he might not have made a lot of money. It was HIS gamble. Because he is a smart business man TV has grown to over 100,000 people and he as made a lot of money. That was no accident. So I say he "gave" us something that we cannot find elsewhere. Yes, we pay for it but without his concept, investment and management, it would not be available to us. Is he infailable or perfect? No, but who is?
Is it the best thing I have found? YES!

I am going to give it a rest with this last comment. We have been dancing around the word "given" too long. Many went into the attack mode when I said Mr. Morse had not given me anything. I stand by those words. Mr. Morse created a product, I bought into that product and am happy here. So put your weapons away and end the attack. On the other hand, when I think of a developer "giving" to his development residents, Del Webb just up the road, is a good example. Del Webb Residents were GIVEN the streets and all amenities with the exception being the championship golf courses. Good night all !!!!

Sounds like Del Webb has given away all of his headaches. Now the community is going to have to have some kind of board made up of residents that have no experience in property management to take care of all the problems and expenses that come with owing streets and rec centers.
He kept the golf courses, of course, because they make a lot of money.
