Without profit, businesses don't employ people, can't give them health and retirement benefits, can't expand, can't do ANYTHING that keeps our economy strong. <br /><br />The profit motive doesn't necessarily presuppose lying, although they aren't mutually exclusive in all cases. <br /><br />BUT... If "profit" is such a reprehensible motive, there are a number of non-profit-oriented economies which may welcomes those who despise "profit". Cuba, Russia, Angola, and other countries come to mind. And they have such a high standard of living and so much personal freedom, too.Lindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08997151078101293792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005318536119661090.post-84072135815682420762009-11-27T15:12:50.306-05:002009-11-27T15:12:50.306-05:00The free-market fact remains that Mr. Waldman boug...The free-market fact remains that Mr. Waldman bought the property and he owns it. He therefore has the right to do with it what he wants, irrespective of what the CV residents want. <br /><br />I have been appalled at the lack of understanding of this basic principle of our republic, the right to property. <br /><br />It's my understanding that CV had the opportunity to buy the property and declined to do so. So why are those non-owners now demanding that they have the right to determine what Mr. Waldman can do with his own property that he purchased with his own money?? If we want him to show respect for our property, are we then not obligated to show respect for his?<br /><br />If you want to control the property, then pony up for the purchase price. This is the way we do it America, we are not the United Socialist States of America with communal ownership of property... At least not yet.Lindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08997151078101293792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005318536119661090.post-39126106789950335522009-09-25T11:53:32.603-04:002009-09-25T11:53:32.603-04:00As the old saying goes money talks BS walks.As the old saying goes money talks BS walks.marc vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03689981979558167967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005318536119661090.post-52779666933089119802009-09-25T09:40:31.649-04:002009-09-25T09:40:31.649-04:00Either CV goes all out and fights rezoning or it d...Either CV goes all out and fights rezoning or it doesn't.

However, has anyone tried to drive south on Haverhill or west on Okeechobee during any weekday rush-hour? Just add 550 more condo's and traffic would become even more impossible. Carbon monoxide is not a pleasant thing to inhale, even as a secondary effect. The Waldmans presentation reminds me of a time-share show. It looks and sounds wonderful until you get home, and reality sets in. I am still inclined to oppose the project.Synoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005318536119661090.post-45647006173299835452009-09-24T23:40:43.292-04:002009-09-24T23:40:43.292-04:00No scary rumors or drama, just realistic facts of ...No scary rumors or drama, just realistic facts of life being ignored by the supporters of the golf course development.<br />Waldman is a businessman, who's business is purchasing property for one reason and one reason only, to then convert it for residential or commercial use. He is a salesman, who will do and say anything to turn a PROFIT. That's all he is interested in. He will tell us anything to keep us from resisting his greedy, self-serving motives.<br />Unfortunately, he has been encouraged by UCO's inaction and all the in fighting among the residents.<br />If this development is built, we will have to live with years of construction with the obvious noise, filth and traffic that goes with it.<br />Waldman will stress the few positives, but after he's gone and this moderately priced/workforce housing project,<br />will become a low income/renters paradise due to current and future economic and social conditions.<br />Among other reasons, most senior citizens move to Century Village for "peace & quiet". No children, pets, a minimum of traffic and most important the security that a gated community offers.<br />It is this sense of security that is threatened. Our neighborhood has unfortunately become more dangerous for senior citizens in recent years. Why would we invite all these obvious dangers into our backyard?<br />Waldman still refuses to separate his development from ours with a fence or wall, and he won't be around when security issues become<br />intolerable.<br />Will the Waldman supporters then admit, they were wrong? No!, some people never learn, especially those who know nothing about everything.<br />This is not the time or place for any housing within our village!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005318536119661090.post-56862813070043301512009-09-24T17:32:10.661-04:002009-09-24T17:32:10.661-04:00Note how much more positive everyone is who has be...Note how much more positive everyone is who has been to a Waldman presentation and actually seen the plans, as opposed to those who thrive on scary rumors and drama.nikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005318536119661090.post-6241931030667393042009-09-24T17:04:38.473-04:002009-09-24T17:04:38.473-04:00Last week Drew Waldman said that although he had s...Last week Drew Waldman said that although he had seen the UCO letter in the UCO Reporter he had not received any such letter.

Discussion, voted unanimously accepted”.<br />I think this needs to be amended per Lanny’s common sense, that CV officials should receive a Waldman presentation, and then set up the Waldmans and their info for a full village meeting. The way the motion reads now it could be a non-Waldman, non-plan meeting! Shapkin would love that.elainebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15724005399643017306noreply@blogger.com
