" I got mine but I don't want you to have yours" and also " its a matter of attitude"
While respect these views I respectively disagree.
The key ingredient missing in the aforementioned two views can be summed up in one word "overbuilt". and unfortunately the build out will continue indefinitely because the developer stands to make huge profits from new and used sales, from the stores that occupy his domain, etc., while residents way of living "The Villages Lifestyle continues to get compressed. I do not see where a change of attitude will make lines any shorter or shortages and unavailable resources any less short or unavailable or traffic any less congested either on the road or multi modal paths. I don't see how attitude will change being bumped from a tee time. I purposely only golf 2-3 times a week because of the shortage of tee time. so free golf may be free but it doesn't matter if you can't get a tee time. Its like paying more for high speed internet but the band with cable lines, etc are over capacity and never reach your modem.
The emphasis from a 55+ retirement community to a vacation destination has also drastically altered this community.
some may view me as a pessimist but a pessimist is an optimist with experience
I lived in a lovely city southwest of Minneapolis that once was rated the best city in America for a number of years until.................
I am also a realist and so I just can't get my mind wrapped around the concept that the backups on Morse or crossing the entrance to Lake Sumter landing are figments of my imagination and worse yet they are not even disappearing in the middle of summer any longer.
C'est la vie
