The Villages is the single largest real estate development in the country. The developer knows that over the course of the proposed 25 year plan (just a guess 1990 - 2015) that the RE market would fluctuate, perhaps violently. Does this mean that they don't wish for a recovery? Of course not but I can't imagine that anything drastic will happen such as a complete forfeiture of future plans.

That is one reason why The Villages model of developing the amenties first before the homes is such a brilliant idea. Prospective owners, like yours truly, can feel a little bit safer about their purchase. Many developments similar to TV (not on such a grand scale of course) have sold homes only to never develop the clubhouse or the golf course due to financial concerns.
