One thing we do like (and can do) with the timeshare is give a vacation to someone else who is struggling or needs to get away from home but can't due to their finances. We've also hosted couples for four-day weekends so they get some time away from home when money is tight. The last time it was a couple where the husband had lost his job and was also being threatened with a (truly) frivolous lawsuit. We love doing stuff like that. We can give a weeks worth of time away to charity auctions and let the winning bidder pick where they want to go.

The ability to do that became the silver lining to something that can be, at time, a pretty dark cloud.

Apparently Bigredbirdfan has never read the contracts that you must sign to purchasae a timeshare. Their are waivers after waivers and the meetings each year can change much of the agreement and it is all perfectly legal.

Very few people attend the owners meeting which can chage the assments or add to them each year. That is why many states have placed restrictions on what timeshares can do after the fact. Missouri is not one of those states.

Buyer beware is the key.

For many years Bransons Plan approval didn't involve International Building Code compliance.

There aren't building codes for backfill material. When it washed out under the foundation the material under slab was black dirt. Not compacted Fill.

Plus no retaining wall like the Landing Has.

How close were they to the shoreline? Evidently a little too close because the darn thing just about went in the drink.

Bad design, poor fill materials and no protection of your investment via retention system.

Looks like the developer just thought the water would never get that high to flood the units which is probably true.

Someone failed the poor souls left with this mess. And they shouldn't have to fork out money now that the developer or contractor skimped on to begin with.

I'm not at all concerned with international codes. And should'nt the poor souls you are worried about have some responsibility for the problems, or did some intertnational company force them to buy? I think everyone from the developer to the people who bought them have to pay up.

Maybe they'll qualify for a gov't bailout?
