Really? Nothing but good? I have only been here a little over 8 years and from my perspective the unabated growth has only made the quality of life worse. The traffic on the main arteries, has become much worse; in what other retirement community in the country must you take into account traffic delays to get from one part of the community to the other? Tee times, especially during the winter on the executive courses are much harder to get. To get a parking space in Colony Plaza during the winter requires you to follow people out to their car just like the malls up North at Christmas time. Trying to get a time to swim or walk in one of the exercise pools now is very difficult. I am hard pressed to think of anything positive that has come about by the unrestrained growth.
I moved to Central New Jersey in the early 70s and at that time it was a very pleasant place to live with uncongested highways and lots of open space and farms. Over the years of continued growth and sprawl it eventually became a place that was no longer a great place to live. I fear that the same thing will happen here.
