How many of you can lift 30-pound boxes for a 5-hour shift 3-5 days per week?
And all those waiter and waitress and bartender jobs at all those restaurants you all love going to. I hope you are AMAZING tippers, because if the community spreads too far, no one living on the outskirts will want to drive in to work for sub-minimum plus tips during midweek.
But hey it won't affect you personally, so you don't have to care about it right? Let your kids and grandkids bear the burden, it'll be their problem.
Or - you can remind the developers that this is supposed to be a *community* and not a *municipality.* That's what you paid for, and that's what you're entitled to. You can speak with your votes when the board convenes to elect new board members.

Based on a lot of your posts, you obviously don't live here. Many of the people working today in restaurants etc live in Lady Lake, Ocala, Summerfield etc and they don't seem to have trouble finding places they can afford to live. As far as tips are concerned I spoke to a waitress here I have known for some time just the other day (Saturday) and she told me she had made about 250 per day in tips the preceding week on the days she worked. She graduated with a 4 year degree, took a full time job in Marion County and quit it because she made more money as a waitress here. She typically works about 6 hours a day.
Honestly, I think you might want to look elsewhere for your nirvana as this place just doesn't seem to suit you. No disrespect, but this place isn't for everybody.
