This place was formed and was famous for the golf cart paths, the walking areas etc. Long time ago, a person seldom saw a car. Many folks including us came here specifically to avoid the auto mess, the accidents, the long lites at signals. NOW,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
MONEY MONEY MONEY. The car dealers are jumping with joy, the place is spreading to be another LA or Chicago with cars cars cars, the American way of pollution and sales work. How nice it would be to have only a golf car and a bicycle and to walk to shopping? How about the extreme,,,,,,,,,,,,, a monorail. So, back to money, the Village Carts put in a gas pump, whoopee, sell cars to burn gas. Check this: For one pound of fuel, it takes 14 pounds of air for 15 lbs. of CO Co2, NOx, H2O and a lot of unburned hydrocarbons. Village Carts now really tries to play down electric carts, sell gas so how soon will we get auto gas pumps to spread the pollution and the WEALTH????
They were preparing to paint areas approaching the center islands (shaped like a Y)on the paths on 466 in the last few days. That was delayed because of Tropical Storm Colin.

Village carts sell Electric carts too. Not a good argument. Don't you wish you owned that dealership? Wow. Betcha they make a lot of money...!

As for money, who tells their kids; "Now I want you to be successful, but don't make much money, hear?"
