The large growth of homes
The lack of growth of police to meet the Villages expansions.
The increase in traffic including when Snow Birds return in the fall
The ability for more outside communities/condo's etc. use the Villages
What have you seen?  |
I don't miss Katie Belles or the Buffalo. I thought of one as a pick up joint and the other as not cuddly or snuggly.
I don't notice the amount of bars, because I no longer drink liquor. I was never any good at it.
I don't worry about the police increasing, because we really have no problem with increased crime here at all. For now. Hopefully that won't change, but if it does, I am sure that the various agencies that protect us; Marion County Sheriff, Sumter County Sheriff, Lady Lake Police Department, Fruitland Park Police Department and Wildwood Police Department will all see to it that we will continue to be protected. (Many Thanks to them)
The increase in traffic and especially during high season happens all over the State of Florida, from the Keys to the Panhandle, all the way to Alabama. Our main industry is tourism and that is how we roll in this State.
I love the new friends who came with the new homes. I love that we have some mighty fine groups at the rec centers teaching us fun and interesting things. I like the way the lovely green places and common areas are kept and the trash barely ever seen. I love the way the public buildings are maintained. I love The Villages Health.
But most of all I love old friends here and new ones too.
