If there is an event, such as a parade or something like a tree lighting, those are usually not scheduled for the same day.
I agree. The cost of building a monorail and and the disruption during construction and the ongoing labor costs would be borne by guess who?

Even a bus shuttle's initial and on going cost, including labor, would add to our monthly amenity fees.

If elevated sightseeing is one's cup of tea, spare us the expense and go rent a helicopter for a few hours. Visitors considering this still wonderful locale can ride The Villages existing tour bus or trolley.

Nothing is free. Add an amenity and greater payments would be required of us each month - not the developers. This whole country truly needs to return to the wisdom of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
