And that will give us more government... Why? And there are 3 counties involved (Lake, Sumter & Marion), as well as the City of Lady Lake.
To each their own, but to me one of the selling points of TV is that there exists here the means as one grows older to maintain independence and mobility. Being able to get to all medical care, food shopping entertainment and such by golf cart - instead of having the later pressure of a car - is why this is such a great retirement community. If the goal is to see how fast we can get older golf cart drivers out of the way so the younger residents aren't impeded in their rush to whatever, then we've gone backwards.
For some strange reason, TV has lasted many a year without golf cart registration, "licensing" and the like. If there was a serious problem, the local law enforcement agencies - and there are at least five involved (3 county sheriffs, one city PD, and FL Highway Patrol) - would be leading the parade for specific changes, and the insurance industry would be with them side-by-side to cut claims and raise premiums. Surely we have a sufficient quantum of public safety professionals surrounding us here to keep things as safe as possible, and they haven't been hammering for changes.
So, what is the
public good being protected? All additional "protections" seem more in making things more difficult as one grows older than more convenient.
