Watched a YouTube video about the underground caverns & deep springs in central Florida. Running out of water will never be an issue. Building another Ark might be.

Once we were in a deluge summer afternoon downpour at the mall in Gainsville. In just a few minutes, the entire parking lot was flooded above the curbs & it looked like a large lake! Then the rain stopped & within a few minutes there were only a few puddles left & blue skies
& sun returned. Amazing.

When the summer rainy season & hurricane season come starting in June you’ll be glad they started out low. Hurricane season is predicted to bring above-average named storms (est. 21 or so) not all will bring a lot of rain to TV but any that do could bring huge amounts

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

Awful until a simple adjustment was made.

May I ask where you found that information?

Not debating it, but a source would be nice...

Those of us who have read this Forum for many years have heard so many things repeated many times.

Usually the overwhelming majority of readers are pretty satisfied with their life here and how things are managed and then there are a few ANONYMOUS readers who seem to have some issue with the place and how it's managed. I almost always wonder who these folks really are. Do they really live here, or do they live outside and are not yet old enough to retire, or cannot manage the cost to live here, or are they folks who would like to develop an area close by and be sort of competition to the Morses? Are they people who have never ever been here and have sort of a general negative feeling about all large successful businesses and enjoy using the word "greed" to describe those people who own them.

Then a few folks really do believe that the development of land has caused the sinkholes within, that the construction of buildings and structures is second class and shoddy and that the trash disappears magically from the streets and roadways and the buildings and fences paint themselves, and those same people may have never looked at the chairs and tables for example in the rec centers, let alone the CHANDELIERS, different in each one and usually quite superior and beautifully chosen.......and you get where I'm going.

As you can see I am a huge fan of the Morses and hope someday to shake one of their hands in person....but they'd better find me soon because I'll soon be 85. ;)

If only they allowed desert lawns.

So, it's nothing but rumor and conjecture... Color me not surprised...

Happy Birthday!

So...I’m confused. On a different thread (Evening with Developer), I thought I remember you saying you’ve attended some or most? (Stand to be corrected) I read where Mark Morse , after speaking.... leaves the room fairly quickly. I’m wondering why no brief meet and greets with the residents who bought in to the concept. I’ve yet to attend my first EWD but would love to see him hang around for a minute or two...when I do.

Why?

Self explanatory

I’m just as complimentary of the developer as anyone on here. As the poster stated, as a long time resident, she has never met the man. Why is availing yourself for 10-20 minutes after an event or ‘shaking hands’ with your ‘investors’ such an unreasonable expectation?

in re: to water flow, and i'm sure you heard this before, but there is a way to increase the power of water flow by removing some tab or whatever. a handyman did mine. (channeling another thread: a Seinfeld episode explains the need for increased water pressure in the shower!)

Really??? Did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night too?

You should talk to the companies that supply the pumps that extract water from the aquifers for wells and understand how the demand for pumps with deeper capabilities is changing.

Or read almost any of the articles on the depletion of the aquifers. Call those articles fake news if you want but the data on the pumps is pretty compelling evidence there is a huge issue facing this state unless we figure out how to efficiently process seawater.
