Residents who are happy that expansion continues are comforted by the fact that it likely means that the developer will be around for at least the time it takes to complete each expanded area. Which in turn is reassuring that the developer will still be hands on in the overall affairs of The Villages.

The greatest fear of many is the day that the developer turns decision making and budgeting/spending over to the residents!
