Don’t kid yourselves about those of us outside the bubble not paying for things in your adult playground. Most of the municipalities where TV does business have been stacked with their hand-picked candidates for the various governing boards. This has resulted in the old cliche, “What the Villages wants, the Villages gets” and the taxpayer foots the bill.
If non-Villagers weren’t allowed to enjoy the entertainment on the squares, eat at the mostly mediocre restaurants, country clubs, or shop at the stores, I bet half the businesses would go under.
If I were a member of the Morse family dynasty that runs this place, I’d be more concerned about the future of golf itself. There are many reports out there about how it’s popularity has nosedived.
As TV aggressively expands into Leesburg, it’ll be very interesting to see what this community will look like in 10-15 years.
