The infrastructure really doesn't support the numbers of people here. Looking at the traffic on 466 for example and rolling acres Road, there are traffic tie ups at certain times of the day that are just way beyond what we have experienced in the past and like you said, it is not even the high season yet. I've talked to a number of people that are seriously considering moving. There are retirement communities that offer most of the activities that the villages has yet these communities have say 10 to 20,000 people as opposed to 100,000 people and that makes a huge difference in terms of traffic and access. I would advise anyone thinking of purchasing in the villages to think long and hard and to definitely spend some time here during January through April to make sure you could deal with the huge amounts of people and traffic, reduced access to classes and activities, less teetimes, difficulties getting into restaurants, and so on. It may or may not be a good fit for you.

You are so right. But be aware how you express yourself here. Whatever you do, do not complain about the people in line who are really loaded with coming to their third happy hour, that is a no no. If they rudely bump into you in line, just grin and bear it.
Or on the road, as they rush into an area to get the last drink before they get cut off. Because, some bartenders are now getting smart and sending them away.
We have heard the complaining while they are in line. So, when they go whizzing past in their car or cart, be sure to get way over, they deserve more of the road.
Have fun and enjoy your retirement. Be happy.
