Highest rate in the Western Hemisphere. Nothing but housing & parking lots as far as the eye can see. It will collapse.

In both brand new homes it took awhile for all the geckos and snakes and birds and butterflies to find us. Both times we watched the critters reappear in less than a year and now we watch them comfortably from the lanai and front porch.
My husband and I are trying to help with the general over population and have ditched plans for a baby. There is a lot of water around us, under us and being taken up to the clouds and down in the rain here in Florida. We love to live here in The Villages, the lots are smaller and not so hard to keep nice. The common areas are profuse and lovely and trimmed and maintained regularly. Flowers are planted for all of us to enjoy five times a year and the butterflies love them too.
I hope it will not collapse. The building and maintenance and food suppliers and lawn people are all depending on this beautiful area for their bread and butter.
