There is no argument. He was a visionary. The real questions are : Was it the vision of a beautiful quiet community filled with active seniors living a carefree life? Was it a vision of a community of active seniors making good friends, going to stimulating activities and events without having to drive their cars? Was it the vision of homes with motorhome garages, woodshop, indoor and outdoor pools,tennis courts, golf courses, and an activities office that finds a way to satisfy almost every resident's request? Or was it a vision of a personal gold mine that would forever produce dollars for himself, with unbreakable contracts for services set-up for his own companies in yearly amounts of over a million dollars?
I want to believe the stories that say Mr. Maxwell felt he had made enough money in his life before he built Lake Ashton as his showcase. I want to believe that he wanted to build the first vision. That,yes, he knew he would make money building it. But, did he always have the vision to make it his personal financial kingdom for all time? Was it his vision to take millions of public dollars and misrepresent as a gated community with construction defects in the roads? Was it his vision to create and execute a restaurant contract that allows him to make money without paying all the expenses of that restaurant? Was it his vision to overcharge for management services,gate keeping, and grounds keeping? Or was the vision just too large and the people he took as partners just poorly picked?
I guess the question here is-Mr. Maxwell, do you have enough money and power yet? Will you step up Mr. Maxwell to keep the first part of your vision alive.
