They cannot risk an inevitable lawsuit which could bankrupt the town. They've accepted they will all be voted out of office after allowing the apartments.

And FWIW, the commissioner did not disagree with my assessment that apartments will probably mean the end of live music at Spanish Springs. I've said it before - it's not realistic that one developer is going to manage a stunningly massive sprawl all the way down to almost Clermont. I believe the Villages is eventually going to be broken up and parts of it will be sold to developers, starting with the historic district and the area around Spanish Springs.

Why do you suppose the Villages put a stop to their program of pulling modular homes out of those areas?

NOTE: The foregoing is one person's opinion (mine). I could be wrong. Please don't start any rumors that live music in SS is doomed or the Villages is for sure going to be broken up. Thanks.

Almost a confirmed rumor.....
Good news!
