Thing is, the Villages as it was in the early 2000's (when we first came to visit, before we decided to retire here), is vastly more populated now. More people, more traffic, more roads, more golf carts, more visiting grandkids and kids, more crime, more beauty, more shops, more unpleasantness, more of everything from each end of the spectrum and inbetween. There's a lot MORE than most people ever expected, when they first came here in the 1970's, 80's, 90's, and 2000's.
The way you live is already changing. The world - and the Villages, is progressing whether you choose to accept the fact or not. While there are more awesome things in the Villages than ever before, there is also a lot more unpleasant stuff. There are ways to reduce the unpleasantness. You can't eliminate it, but you certainly can reduce it.
I believe the developer has already made improvements on the "old way" of doing things, with the new areas. Wider bridges, wider golf cart/bike lanes on the main roads, better signage, superior retention pond lining and drainage, etc. So even the developer acknowledges that there is room to improve. If they hadn't, they would've used the same construction methods that they used previously.
