So it’s possible the cracks formed but are unrelated to the machinery?. We have cracks here and there but no vibrations.

From original post. Since edited by OP.

"Works great to make a road, but when they are 30 feet behind your house it causes the whole house to shake. The light fixtures, ductwork, windows, etc. just shake and there is one heck of a din that scares pets and adults alike. Its also doing wonders for our pools and decks and windows, many of us have cracks that have developed or seals that have broken. Yes, we knew we would have construction behind but none of us bargained for destruction of our precious homes. Suggestions on who to complain to? We have tried the Villages, Rainey and the City of Wildwood thus far."

"Just the facts, ma'am"

Pick your poison. Deal with the results of the heavy equipment that compacts the soil or don’t properly compact the soil and risk a future sinkhole opening up near your home?

Shouldn't have moved down there, too much noise from the turnpike. It's only going to get worse.

I live 4 streets from the turnpike, how close are you, that your first hand knowledge from the front, back or inside of your home, is getting worse

The Villages model is designed to emphasize constructing new Villages. Before you sign to BUY a house, you are golden and will be listened to intently by the real estate agents - after the sale they shake your hand and you are past history to them. It is probably just the nature of the time-value of a RAPIDLY expanding real estate market. It will be a struggle to get them to GO BACK and engage in quality control efforts.
People want desperately to be involved with the newest thing, gadget, or newest Village. It gives some bragging rights for their innovation and frontier advancement mentality. But, NEWNESS comes with problems normally.
......But don't feel too bad, there are unresolved physical problems STILL in even the northmost Villages!

Some people seem immune to noise and automotive pollution. I have always been sensitive to those things.
