I am not an "old timer", but we rented for 9 years before buying this winter. However, I see no need for anyone to have to brace themselves for continued expansion. I am happy to shop, golf, enjoy entertainment, play pickelball, etc. in the same areas I have for most of the past decade. They can build to Orlando as far as I'm concerned and it won't affect my lifestyle much, if any. I am fairly certain the people north of 466 feel mostly unaffected by the growth in the new areas. Naturally there will be some additional demand on existing resources (golf courses, squares, restaurants, shopping) but in time they will have those things in the new areas and they will mostly use their local venues. I am happy in Sanibel.
