Currently, traveling by car at 35 miles per hour from the Brownwood area to Spanish Springs takes a long time. For me, to drive a golf cart at 20 MPH that distance is a once in six month’s adventure. In 15 years, it might take 50 % longer to travel from the expanded Villages North to South without factoring in the increased traffic.
Who is thinking about a mass transit solution or a way to travel at a faster pace these greater distances to make a daily journey like this possible/enjoyable? Is this the responsibility of the Developer, the Counties, the Village government, the State of Florida or who? Where is the preparation in this planned community or where is the outer belt?

I think you should move here full time, because spending so much time off campus is making you overthink things. Or take up golf.
