There is NOT enough parking around Spanish Springs to justify more apartments. The businesses there have probably complained about the high rent that the Villages charges them. So, instead of lowering the rent the Villages gets greedy and tries to add apartments so the businesses have more customers. Soon Spanish Springs will be as dense as a city in New Jersey - so why did we bother coming to The Villages in the 1st place - wasn't the idea to escape too much density? The whole US society would be better off if it evaluated progress by "QUALITY OF LIFE" and NOT profits and population growth!
