Yeah, I think we will be reimbursed and I check our mail every day hoping for a refund.

It was sarcasm about the reimbursement of bugs 🙄🙄🙄

I wouldn't mind a reduction in the monthly fees, since many staff received very little pay. There was a great deal of savings on eletricity, on full salaries, and on supplies, etc.

NOT! LOL the renters in the Squares are suffering and no compensation has come to them yet.
Lets see if the Mor*se will do the right thing!
BTW if you think they are building homes as normal; check the permits being pulled in the Sumter county building department.
Don't believe the propaganda everything is peachy.
Some people live in a Bubble and keep drinking the cool-aid.

Then I guess you think the snowbirds should only pay for the months they are here? Right! We all knew the rules when we bought here.

How much extra were we charged when the Rec department and others had to clean pools, repair items, fix golf courses that were under water, and overall cleanup when the Hurricane went through? Those were outside of normal actions.

The Villages has been getting ahead of maintenance during this downtime.

Everyone needs to take a pause and try to be reasonable.

Now back to our show.

Majority of laws suits are frivolous, it’s cheap to settle in most cases that fight it. That’s why there are so many ambulances chasing lawyers.

I like how all the golfers have nasty comments. Stop golf for 7 weeks we see who the real whiners are.

No I think snowbirds should pay double from all the saving on no yard work while there gone

Everybody has to have yard work done, it is required by deed. The snowbirds pay for the same work they just don’t get to enjoy what they pay for.

OMG, this is certainly a new breed of residents we have posting here. We moved here in 2001. We left a beautiful condo in St Petersburg where we paid 340.00/mo amenity fee. We had one, I repeat ONE pool. No rec centers, no golf course, nothing. That fee is now 780.00/mo. We started here with something in the low hundreds fee in 2001 and now it's 146+/-. That's somewhere in the neighborhood of a 40.00/mo. increase in 19 years. A pretty insignificant increase in my estimation. Due to age and health problems experienced with this aging process, as one would reasonably anticipate, we have been less and less able to participate in all these amenities provided by TV. Never once, in all this time, has either of us ever considered that we were owed a reduction or refund in our amenity fee. All this complaining is just beyond my comprehension, especially after the number of times that the allocation of those fees has been explained in detail.
You are living in probably the safest, cleanest, and most beautifully maintained retirement community in Florida, if not the entire US, with probably the most vast assortment of amenities under normal circumstances. These are not normal circumstances we are living in right now. Please exercise a little patience and things will return to normal and you will be able to enjoy all those amenities again if you don't work yourself into a stroke or heart attack looking for things to complain about.

Nope.....never ask anyone to move, they won't anyway. I thought Don gave a pretty comprehensive review of what expenses go on that can't be stopped.....that's just business. I think the way they handled the closing was prudent, and frankly, they don't owe me a dime.

The water doesn't even have to be warm. Just wet the dryer sheet (I use Bounce) and the mess just melts off with no elbow grease needed. Rinse well with clean water.

How much do you really think this amounted to?

[billethkid]

They may not offer a reduction or a refund however I heard a rumor they were going to invest the huge windfall of unspent amenity fee payments in shares for ownership in the Brooklyn Bridge.
