Any thoughts?

And, IMHO, do we really think the Orlando Sentinel's Lauren Ritchie has The Villages best interests at heart? It has to be somewhat frustrating for the Orlando area to watch this beautiful development continue to grow and watch people buy homes and settle here and not in Orlando. Often parents and children also stay with grandparents here and not in Orlando when attending Disney World which causes a loss of tourist dollars because motels/hotels and meal dollars aren't spent there.

All fodder for thought....

excellent point
