i'm not so sure the article provided was truly a misunderstanding. there is a sub group of malcontents that try to bring their ire to every social media platform available. i'm SURE they would love to infiltrate this site, which so far, seems to be a positive, polite discussion area for local residents. it's why i choose to be here, among the civilized, where not everything becomes a political argument, or whose side of the villages is better, lol.

the problem started when commissioners at large were elected instead of by district. the elected officials do the developers bidding and rezone agricultural land for housing. their vision is sumter county emulating orlando with higher taxes, crime, traffic etc. no more friendly home town.

We bought in TV in ‘96. Population 15k, and told it would build out to 50k. 23 years later we still have no regrets.

I love The Villages, but when Sumter decided to raise the millage rate 25% to pay for the roads the builder wants leading to his future buildings, that is unfair. I also read in the Daily Sun that after The Villages completes the roads leading to his new developing ares, the township is going to reimburse him for his expenses. How fair is that? Am I wrong?

If the county reimburses the developer for the roads, it is because the county then owns the roads and anyone is free to use them. Otherwise the developer could just build private roads for the exclusive use of residents and this would be a truly gated community. How does the county get the money to pay for the roads?---That's right, taxes. BTW, the new millage rate is still about 15% lower than it was in 2010. There is a whole other thread of 17 pages that centers on whether or not county taxpayers as a whole should pay for these roads, some citing that they pay for something that doesn't benefit them. The counter argument was that there is tremendous economic and convenience benefit to non-Villagers. There is validity to both points of view, but even IF it isn't fair, life is generally unfair anyway |

. If you don’t think they read it in TV I’m sure it doesn’t bother them. I’m not trying to be a wise guy but if you like TV’s that’s great, I loved it there but we did move to be nearer to our daughter, grandkids & great grandkids. But TV’s is going to be growing a lot bigger. Rumors are (& I did say rumors) TV did buy more land south of Fenney for 60,000 more homes. But thanks for your comment!
