I think the building strategy is getting out of hand. It is already very crowded in that area, and 800 new homes is a lot of people. I know some will think I'm selfish, and that's alright. I do believe the land owner and the developer have the right to develop the property. I'm just saying, for me, I hope it doesn't happen.

Just because it didn't happen doesn't mean it won't happen. There will be things built there and I can't think they will be as nice as The Villages build them. It is no more crowded in that area than in the area around 466 or in any other area of The Villages. The density is the same.
It has only been THREE years since nothing was below 466A. I think the commercial construction will soon catch up to the growth, just as it did in the less new parts..
As for Wildwood, you need to investigate a little further. Wildwood and Fruitland Park both will gain from the association. Money is not all evil.
