The folks in Sandestin
Liked living there a lot…
But Intrawest would soon
make them wish
they did NOT!
Intrawest wanted money; wanted more than its share.
For the homeowners of Sandestin it was too much to bear.
With a sinister plan to make revenues soar,
They plotted, they schemed, they built even more.
No matter the noise that the homeowners made
Intra-west’s plans
just wouldn’t be swayed.
“Our roads are congested!” the homeowners cried.
“We couldn’t get out of this place if we tried!”
“The beach is too crowded to stand much less sit,
The bathrooms you offer are not even fit
for barn yard much less a first class resort
Your standards we feel are a little bit short!”
“The gates that once kept us safe and secure
Stand open to anyone the bars can allure.”
“We’re fighting a battle it seems without end
The SOA gives you OUR money to spend.”
“We don’t know the reason
We can’t even guess -
Why Intrawest, have you made such a mess?”
While Homeowners griped and asked for an answer
Intrawest spread their plans like a cancer.
“The rights that we bought allow us to build
Why should we care if the homeowners aren’t thrilled.”
“They should have known better than to buy in this place
We can’t be held liable for taking their space!”
“They should have been smarter and studied our habits
The wise ones among them have run just like rabbits
to better communities, with compassionate plans
for liveable places with respect for the land.”
“It’s not our objective to sell you a home
We’re all about image and setting a tone
So people will come for a week or a day
To eat at our restaurants
to drink and to play…”
“Our version of paradise can’t even compare
to the treasure you owners claim that you share.”
The homeowners scowled and they planned a rebellion
“We’ll give you a road block where once there was not one”
“We’ll fight at the court house
We’ll fight in the news
Listen to us or you’re going to lose!”
To be continued -
We’re still waiting for Intrawest’s heart to grow three sizes too big…
