I beieve the OP has distorted the view from a new parking lot some where.

TV, I suspect has more green and open space per square mile that most developements anywhere in the USA.

It is all perspective....good or bad.
Amen. Picture of another good planner;

I don't think I would be happy living in the middle of an actual cow pasture.

I never lived in N.Y. City, but I have visited friends there. I can say with all due respect, The Villages is not even close to the "concrete jungle".

This is hysterical... Just not sure how a picture of a few Bison roaming on some once open land in the Villages caught some much attention. But, thanks for the comments.

Unless you're living in a manufactured home over on the other side of 441, I hope you see the irony in your post!
