Good luck getting something done now.

It's emotional is my "guess", people tend to "see" ONLY the positive aspects of something when in the thralls of positive excitement. Some other examples are personal friends of ours who, in the excitement of the many positives of The Villages, purchased a villa right behind the Villages high school. While they did realize a school means traffic, buses, etc. they readily admit it never occurred to them what sports games, blazing lights, bands, band practices, roaring crowds, etc. would mean. We've met others who never realized that the trains near Oxford would be as audible as they are in some villages. When people ask us about what to consider when purchasing, we just tell them to SLOW DOWN, don't "jump" too fast, investigate what being near certain features might mean. Another example, some people might welcome being next door to a rec center, for some would be like having their own pool, but for some who did not "think" about what the sound of early morning pickle ball games could be, it can turn out to be a nightmare ! Glass half empty, glass half full !
