Developer Rights vs Homeowner Rights

Dear Editor:

We’ve all heard the mantra: Property Owners’ Rights.

However, both are property owners.

Regarding Tomoka Oaks — because “the system” favored the developer (it almost always does) those homeowners who bought/own property on the golf course will now see their property value decrease significantly. As well, all Tomoka Oaks residents and nearby residents will see their quality of life deteriorate.

The system needs more balance where the rights of the incumbent property owners (homeowners) are considered equally. Right now, they are not.
