BIG Worries Ahead for Walden Woods South!

If you read even part of this website you already know residents here were deceived, betrayed and abused. But that is nothing compared to what residents believe lies ahead.

Suddenly a cheesy unpainted sign was erected on US 19 at our entrance offering "New Homes from the $40's". Homes here cost many times that so CRF/Nobility Homes dragged in and put together a tiny 800 square foot bare-bones bungalow in our midst and offered it for about $50,000, or I should say, $49,990.

CRF wants to fill this place fast with residents hooked on lifetime contracts so they can collect lot rents, the lifeblood of their existence - the adjoining park brings in about $170K per month!, and this cheap $40K bungalow has residents worried. Here's why:

This cheap bungalow could open the floodgate to a different kind of resident and turn this place into a 'trailer park'. No privacy and no room to breathe. Just shoulder-to-shoulder people, all paying rent.

Even more troubling say residents, is the possibility that CRF will file for a variance from the County to permit more than one home per lot, then fill (crowd!) this place with tiny homes all rented to the County who'll use them to house the homeless and underprivileged. This scenario makes a great deal of sense as Citrus County and Homosassa has a sizeable population of unemployed, homeless, poor and registered sex offenders (1 in every 64 persons!).

(Some Homosassa statistics: 11.7% of the population and 8.5% of families live in poverty including 18.1% of those under the age of 18 and 7% of those 65 or older.
(More than 24% of all children in Homosassa are below the poverty line.). As if to reinforce the seriousness of this matter, a TV (channel 9) news feature last week reported that a motel (Mosley Motel) not too far away was leased by the government (not sure if it was state of county). They leased the entire motel and housed four homeless or indigent persons in each toom at a room rate of $60 per day ($1800 per month!) but they need to find more space as the homeless and indigent population bulges. Walden Woods residents are now fearful that this property will be targeted.because the county can easily put two or three cheap homes on each lot then fill them with the homelsss and indigent and have it cost less than motel rent. An effort is currently underway to draw serious attention to this matter and force CRF to address it.

If Walden Woods South is overwhelmed and overcrowded with homeless, poor, parolees, sex offenders and who knows what else, we'll all be trapped, unsafe and unable to sell our homes at any price.

Our fears are real and the future of Walden Woods South looks bleak.
Very bleak.

As if we didn't have enough trouble, now we've got crocodiles! In the retention pond in the front of our complex there are several large ones: One is 10 feet long, another is 7 feet long and now there's a new one 3 feet long. The small one appears to be their baby which means they're breeding and we can expect lots more of them soon. And an even larger one was spotted in a pond behind a friends house. They are suspected of traveling through the sewers near our homes. Photos will be posted here as soon as clear close-ups can be safely taken.

I'm told they grow about four feet a year so by this time next year we'll be home to a croc that's 14 feet long! They feed off the fish and fowl in the pond (say goodbye to our ducks!) and we worry what happens when the fish & fowl are depleted. The crocs can easily get out of the pond and chase other food, like plump retirees and their pets!

I can see lots of "For Sale" signs going up in the near future!

Just 15 miles from Walden Woods is the Crystal River Nuclear Plant - it's an accident waiting to happen.
And there may not be long to wait!

Your new Walden Woods home comes complete with an outdated, damaged nuclear reactor that was built way back in 1977 when things like safety didn't matter much. It's just like having your very own Three Mile Island or Fukushima, Japan. Had we known then what we know now we would have stayed far, far away.

From Wikipedia and news organizationTampaBayOnline.com
"In September 2009 the plant was temporarily shut down to replace aging steam generators. During the upgrade, workers discovered a gap in the concrete containment dome. The NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) investigated and found that the gap was caused by workers applying more pressure to the concrete than it could handle."

FLASH! Dateline National Public Radio, December, 5, 2011:
NPR news reported that the Crystal River Nuclear Reactor was discovered to have another large break in its outer protective dome. This is the THIRD fissure, and it's causing concern because the reactor does not have an inner lining.

Here are some actual photos of our leaking Nuclear Neighbor just 12 minutes from our front door. Can you say 'mushroom cloud'?
