But if you think all those residents in southern Sumter County welcome the changes you would be sadly mistaken. I know it's hard to believe but The Villages is not the center of the Universe.....
We don't disagree on that. I'm well aware of how Leesburg, Fruitland Park, etc. do not want the developer encroachment into their fair cities/towns.

But the bottom line is that if it's not TV--a known quantity and recipe that works--it will be some other developer that could care far less about what happens when they are long gone.

I think it was JFK who said, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer". Wisdom to live by.
