Speed limits are ignored, people seem to be in too much of a hurry to be nice anymore. There used to be rules and regulations that were geared towards maintaining a happy lifestyle. Not anymore, nothing is being enforced and based on recent national news we seem to be interested more in our political views than being retired and having fun. I don't know why anyone would want to move here right now and our property values are certainly going to suffer.
What happens when it gets overcrowded. No different than anywhere else these days.
