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!
I think they want to add just 45 apartments, right? That'd be just 45-90 more people, it's not a big deal really. The parking spaces they'll need assigned to them will take up more space outside those apartments than the people do.
