With TV entering it's last stated/admitted phase, the "Villages-North" was my first thought as well.

this goes to show there is a God and we all must meet our maker and pay for our sins,, this just happens to be a 7 million dollar pay up,, not much for these folks!!!
I'm confused. How has the developer "bilked" residents of The Villages? Are you alleging fraud? On what basis? Or is it your belief that creating a successful, high-value community where many people choose to buy/live/retire....while making a PROFIT constitutes bilking? Is profit a dirty word? When did it become a dirty word?

Good for them. I hope it makes them another $100 million.

Wow, what a nasty post. Who have they bilked ? I think most of us are here of our own free will.
You must be a very unhappy person.

...If you know a "GOOD" tax attorney.....ask them why they think the purchase of that forest land makes perfect sense.......

Heck, maybe that land will become "Villages-North"....at a later date.

Just look at "The Woodlands"....North of Houston,TX......
Mighty nice high-end homes were built in that old forest.
Thats what im thinking,The Villages II.

Good Lord VS, how in the world did you become so hateful of this paradise we call home. We thank our lucky stars everyday that we have found a place like this to enjoy our golden years in. As far as I know we're all here by self choice and I can't think of $1.00 that I've been bilked out of. I'm thankful that someone had the foresight to plan a community such as The Villages to give us our reward for many many years of hard work and sacrifice. If I was as unhappy as you seem to be the last place I would want to be is on this cruise ship.

Cow Hollow is a neighborhood in San Francisco

Neighborhoods in San Francisco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


not to be confused with the Cow Palace in San Francisco

Cow Palace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Wonder why the Morse's picked that name for one of their corporations?

oops - just read the article again and the corp name is cow hammock not cow hollow
(at least it was interesting reading about cows in SF)

There must be something about the word Hammock that means something special to the Morses..They called the village where old Mr. Schwartz lived "Hickory Head Hammock"...which I thought to be whimsical.

I hope I live long enough to read a book that really tells us some of this stuff about our home town and it's creators.

Hi Jimbo2012,
Thanks for the interesting information. Only time will tell what their plans are for the property. Whatever their plans, I wish them well!
