Interesting discussion.
I find that as each Villages area has been built the developer has made changes. IMO, they seem to be for the better. I am glad that Buena Vista is wide open and access gates or off the main drag unlike the situation along Morse Blvd. I believe that was an improvement.
Also, look at the bond costs in various areas of TV. South of 466 it seems that the bond cost is double what folks paid north of 466. Those additional pools and rec centers have a cost associated with them. Do you think that folks north of 466 are willing to approve another bond to pay for more pools and rec centers? Rumor has it that back 10 years ago or more Villagers were not willing to approve a one time tax/bond/fee amounting to less than $100 a household to repair and fix the recreation trails north of 466. Good luck with more pools and rec centers even if you could find the land. (Before you jump on me for incorrect data I prefaced my last comment with it being a rumor. Whether it is $100 a household or whatever amount is not the point, the point was that Villagers were not willing to pay.)
The new homes being added to CDD 4 will put a lot more pressure on Mulberry. Maybe CDD 4 should fight the developer to keep him from adding the houses to their CDD. Maybe those homes should have to be a new CDD. Maybe it would force him to deal with pools and rec centers at the outset.
With this post and $2.50 you can get coffee most places in The Villages.
