Kahuna, thank you!

Kahuna, outstanding work!!

Should be interesting, as the settlement unfolds, to see if the Daily Sun ever provides as much information as you have in this post.

It's great to see the plaintiffs were not only well informed of the developers continuing duties under the contract with the residents but also paid great attention to changes that were being made unilaterally without any notice to the residents. They than called the developers bluff of "well if you don't like it sue us" and prevailed.

Looks like we will all benefit from their diligence and hard work!

Did you really think you were going to get anything but positive comments from the Plantiffs Attorney? If so I have some Ocean front property in Arizona I would like to sell you.

Kahuna....thanks for your follow-up and transmitting an articulate representation of your conversation with the attorney. It fills in some of the blanks. Residents who live south of 466 need to be attentive to what is transpiring with this process and settlement so that they may benefit from what their neighbors and friends north of the border are going through.

Hey Kahuna, good follow-up. :super: With that kind of effort, I think you too deserve an extra $50K or so. :bigthumbsup: Some the the answers you rec'd do ameliorate some of my concerns and like you I am willing to wait and watch. Maybe Chicken Little was wrong this time, but I still don't consider the POA an ally.

Vinyl siding I can deal with.

This is the stuff we're really watching.

This topic is one reason I registered. I have been monitoring this form for months. My first trip that was recorded by the front office was 1988. I was to young to live in the Villages at that time plus I was working in MI.
For two decade I have said, a family has done something the government could never do. I have traveled the U.S. in a motorhome scoping out retirement communities, this is one of a kind. Does anyone disagree? No
My fear is I cringe at the thought of anyone other that the present decision makers making the decisions concerning the managing of the recreation facilities. I know not one new face has any experience. I see the residence taking over. I see the people with the best golf score being elected by popular vote or the best line dancers. The line dancers will want to gut the rec-centers and put in big dance floors. The golfers will want to demolish the rec-center and expand the golf course. Everybody will want to spend the money in the treasury for bigger and better and newer. I fear the money will be mismanaged if for no other reason than no one has ever done this before. Look around you it is a full time job, are you going to but a retired person in charge.

Tell me, is it the plan to elect residents to manage this or is it just to have a voice. It looks to me that without the money the Village is out of control. OR is the money in a kind of escrow fund but managed by the Village.

Thank you for you time.
