Default And Some Call This Paradise

The Villages of Lake-Sumter, Inc (TVLSI) (The Developer) has much control and influence in the tri-county area. As such developers, politicians, realtors, etc really don't care about managed growth and the affect it has on people. Its all greed.

This issue is the reason TVLSI pushed hard against the repeal of Sumter One. TVLSI wanted all 5 county commissioners in its back pocket and here we are

If the information the OP obtained is accurate this area is going to be so dense people will have to live in shifts to golf, shop etc.

The wide range of housing prices is also problematic

Too many residents on this forum had shown a mistaken fealty toward the developer, which is to say the least puzzling.

The simple truth is the developer took a way of life common to Florida and California and expanded on it.
and the developer did it as cheaply, transferring liabilities to others and reaping record breaking profits.

The Developer focused on how many housing units he could squeeze in an area.

And because of that fact bike and walking trails were ignored and multi-modal paths utilized.

As a consequence the MMP's resemble I-4, walkers looked distressed and annoyed and bottle necks appear everywhere. and some call this paradise..but I digress
