Default Over 12,000 acres remain to be developed

My understanding is that The Villages owns over 12,000 acres (roughly 20 square miles) of pure forestland that have been approved for development. I personally think it is a shame to convert that much forest into a paved/grassed/built environment, but this is Florida, and that is the way things are done here. So , I don't think you need worry about not being able to purchase a new home within the next 5 to 10 years.
