Why is this idea of an option of a pet free village so disturbing to people? If you look at the map of the villages future expansion there are a half dozen (at least) new villages in the planning. What would be the downside of offering one of the smaller ones as a pet free option as a trial balloon and seeing if the idea has merit? It would have no impact whatsoever on people who already live here with their pets. People move to 55+ communities for similar reasons, do they not? They want an opportunity to live with a likeminded demographic in a community geared to their needs and desires and absent of some of the undesirable (to them) aspects of living in a younger, family oriented community. Otherwise places like The Villages would not need to exist. How is this idea any different?
