Default the good and the bad

To get back to the original question (ahem!) ...

We are in the Village of Rio Grande, north of 466 and one of the older areas built in 1993 or thereabouts. We specifically wanted that location because it is a nice walk (a little under a mile) to Spanish Springs but very close to LSL too. We have a CYV that we liked better than the new ones we looked at because the courtyard walls are all stucco rather than vinyl on the sides like the newer ones. We back onto a forever wild area so it is very quiet as well. Our neighbors are a mixture of young and old, permanent and snowbirds, with a lot of Brits who are delightful.

That's the good. For the bad, so many people seem to want to be south of 466 that I worry about whether or not money will continue to be spent on the older sections to keep them on the same level as the newer sections.
