I am excited when I read the plans for The Villages expansion that we all can enjoy.
Crowds don't affect my daily life within our village. In almost 13 years, I rarely experienced long waits for services and restaurants- maybe lines for pickleball in March. But that goes away. Traffic- are you kidding? With the roundabouts, there is rarely a back-up.

Someone mentioned decreased bird life. in The Villages. We have had over a hundred pelicans and the same number of cormorants on the water behind us for the past several days. While the pelicans are migratory, we have a variety of ducks, ibis, egrets, and herons on a daily basis with the occasional wood stork. We love it here. I said I would live here even if I won the lottery - albeit with a beach house also.
