This was a small town area, it's grown so much, but they haven't done anything to help relieve the roadway congestion.
We need more big-name businesses built, Home Depot, Target, Joanns, SAM'S CLUB!!!, etc. that could at least give it a start.

Amber. I think you mentioned you are a millennial. Years to you and years to us VILLAGERS are different.
Small towns have been growing for as long as there has been recorded history. IF "The Villages" didn't build homes, SOMEONE would be building homes here. We have a lot of good stuff drawing people to live here. Florida has become the third most populous state in the last four years.
And who are THEY? We the people are "They".
I see no evidence of "piecemeal planning", this area has better planning than areas that just "spring up".
I also remind you Amber that this is the middle of the "High Season" where the entire state has swollen population. It is cold up North. People come here and rent and people come here and visit the renters. People come here and visit the owners too. March 31st is coming and our "normal" will soon be here.
