Default Question - Evolution of The Villages Plan

I have been here about 2 years. Like others, sometimes I am guilty of thinking TV history started when I got here. So, a question for those of you who have lived here for at least say 7 years.....

When did you move here? At the time you bought into TV (presuming it was 2001 or earlier) what was your impression of the overall plan for TV in terms of size and geography?

I ask this because I've heard a couple of comments lately. One, someone said back in 2002-2004 when a lot of building was happening on the Marion County side, the expectation was that the Villages would continue to buildout north but (and this is rumor not necessarily fact) the Developer was not getting the necessary cooperation from Marion County and decided to build South into Sumter instead.

The second comment was ... once buildout of the currently advertised boundaries (to Brownwood) is done...what would stop the Developer from acquiring additional contiguous land and making TV even bigger?

So, for those who have been here for awhile...have you seen changes in the overall master plan over time and how was it announced to you?
