Why are the taxpayers, and not the developer, paying for the expansion of the village

Unless the bond is satisfied. The increase would of course be at a much higher percentage. |

I am not and have not ever been anti developer but this is a new generation of the developers family and I am not liking what I am seeing. It’s is not so much greed for money but greed for power. Look at the impending changes to the Wildwood city charter.

This thread is about the impact of tax increases on Villagers. What about the rest of Sumter who will be paying this increase as well? For the most part others in Sumter County really dislike Villagers. This tax increase will be a giant burden on many of them and they are not reaping the benefits. I want to be a good neighbor and know that ALL of Sumter County is benefiting from this tax increase. I want all of Sumter to know that we are not the self-important, entitled folks that most think we are.

Well, that is another thing to consider, and, does anyone care about them?

The remainder of Sumter County has historically been one of the poorer parts of Florida. Even what may be to some if not most Villagers a trivial tax increase likely will be felt deeply by these folks. The 'One Sumter' essentially stripped them of electing any councilor(s) and having any representation at all in how the county is operated.

Indeed. The Villages copied and over time improved upon on Del Webb's inventive Sun City concept. Buy cheap land outside a city, build a senior community of closely spaced small houses, provide golf courses, rec centers and a shopping center. Even allow driving around the community in golf carts. The original Sun City opened 01/01/1960. Sun City, Arizona - Wikipedia I have posted these before. Some have enjoyed watching them as have I. Notice how they drive around in golf carts at times.

Yes, and affordable housing for the workforce required to run this vast place hasn't kept up.
