Best comparison is they are part time lobbyists. They have no authority and those that are on the boards are the same as you and I, people that live here and have opinions.....some well grounded and some not so much. Many folks here believe they are helpful and follow their lead rather than doing their own research. I view both clubs as part of the research.....not the final authority on anything.

They do appear to be more objective than VHA on the side of us homeowners as far as I can see.

Don’t take the bait. This guy doesn’t even live here but loves to start threads that will get Villagers arguing with each other. It’s just a game to him.

I realize that but it is a misconception here that the organizations have sway and they don't. While the VHA leans more to the homeowner, it's because it's the only position they can take to provide a balance to the POA. The POA takes the side of the developer because their side provides balance to the VHA.....or at least that's the way it should be. What would be nice, once in awhile, if for both organizations to debate the issues together but of course, that will never happen.

After 364 posts, he now knows there's little or no public transportation here and what the POA and VHA do is mostly, "smoke and mirrors,"

I do believe you have it backward. The VHA usually sides with developer and POA is against him.

They mostly oppose anything the developer favors.

Agreed a good assessment in my opinion

[NotGolfer]

Their publication is mostly advertisements interspersed with negative comments about "LIFE" here in The Villages. If we had a fireplace it would make for making a "starter".
