Let's see, the developer has been dong this successfully for almost 40 years. The very obvious results over the years and to date is they do it better and better and better.
I know of no developer who would go to the masses to test for reaction....see what they want next....can you imagine the multiple inputs....multiple interests...LACK OF PROGRESS!!!!
The Villages I suspect attains approval by residents of 90%++. And of course like everything else, the naysayers (minority) seem to be louder than those of us who are happy and satisfied.
Makes one wonder why they bought here in the first place.
I believe the developer does an outstanding job of providing what the market wants in housing and amenities. There is a different critical mass here now than when the built things like bowling alleys and Katie Bells. The critical mass has worked wonders in attracting national brands of all sorts.
The more they develop, the better it continues to get for us property owners including retaining property values. And in that process the developer et al are getting rich(er).
Aren't we blessed? Because if they weren't, then there would be cause for concern.

We loved it here 5 years ago and like it more each year.
