Cabo,

Thanks for sharing this....

The buffalo were not a resident amenity, in the strictest definition of the term as used in the Villages. Our amenity fees did not support the buffalo or their grazing areas. In actuality, they were a free attraction, provided by the developer until such time as he elected to build on a given plot of land. The buffalo as we have known them in the last year, were destined to be moved. The lawsuits have hastened their departure. There has already been surveying activity in the plat adjacent to LSL. Perhaps the quicker departure of the buffalo led to faster development of this area? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, these are not lands nor features that we, the residents, have control or ownership over.

To your other question....the area east of Morse on 466 is ripe for development. The Polo Fields are owned by the developer so he controls how they are used.

Yes, there are unknowns, but, all in all, it's a pretty fantastic place to live.
