I don't really see the need to try to discredit the engineering report or the engineer who wrote the report. Unless you have some evidence of incompetence by the author of the report, it presumably was written by somebody competent to render such as opinion. It was but one piece of the decision making process. Probably the only one that wasn't political.

Older threads show they'd rather listen to "engineering reports" by strangers who don't even live IN The Villages, much less drive a golf cart on city streets and multimodal lanes instead of golf courses.
They will favor ANYTHING that goes along with "Nobody's going to rip ME off for $3 per year!!!!!"
Mleeja was right. Future deaths/dismemberment lawsuits will have them running around blaming the "greedy rich" developer for not doing it before. They have all the answers, but you don't see anyone among them finding anything close to TV's time tested recipe for a city like this anywhere else.
