Even if a tunnel is built under CR 44--boy, that would be a long tunnel--or a bridge built over it, that would be a long drive in a golf cart to access any of the amenities or shopping in the now southern end of The Villages. From the south end of Finney to even the closest Executive golf course would be the equivalent of someone living in Mallory Square, like me, golf carting it down to Nancy Lopez or the executive courses at the far north end of TV. I can't see how Finney will ever be integrated or put much pressure on the retail or other amenities in what is now the main part of TV, particularly if residents choose to use golf carts to get around.
Yes while that is true I think if you take 468 from the intersection of Morse & 44 you will find the distance to Fenney to be very close to 4 miles.
