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.

Gracie nails it, again. We have the best planners on the planet working for us (and with us)... and the fruits of their labor, with OUR contributions and cooperation, are stunningly evident everywhere we look. The Villages IS the most amazing place; we have more of all that is good in a community than anywhere on earth... anywhere on Earth. Count (and complain) as you will, but we should be respectfully thankful. Anything can happen, and what we do now others will have to live with later, but for the now, as John Lennon sang: Let It Be!
