Maybe you exaggerate just a little, but personally I like the idea that growth in The Villages is helping our neighboring towns like Wildwood and Coleman, which have probably not changed much since my family would drive thru them in 1950 as we travelled from Eastern Ohio and caught US 301 in South Carolina as we headed down to Fort Myers.
