Totally agree with you as anything South of CR-44 will never be as the original Villages was and created by "Harold Shwartz and Gary Morse". They built a community of Rec Centers, Stores, and Town Squares to attract buyers.
Shamefully now as the "Morse Clan" only wants to make even more money. No consideration at all for the purchasers of their very profitable homes.
.
We bought a piece of land in Feb. 2009 in the Village of "Amelia". They offered us a full year to build. This will never happen today. All enmities were up and running before we purchased them there. I went to Publix in Colony on their grand opening morning, there were 2 customers and 6 employees in the store. Havana was being finished awaiting an opening day. Mallory was open months earlier. We were told as well as there would never be any more development south of CR-466A.
.
Then we purchased a home under construction in Pine Hills closing in Dec. 2018 and moved from Amelia. Again we were told by the cloned Village Salesperson that they (the Morse clan) have no desire to build South of CR-44.
.
South of CR-44 I believe there they still have only one Publix to serve how many thousands of people. Why don't people realize what actually is going on with new home sales in "The villages"?
.
When the "Village of Fenny" was opened for sale people bought. A few short months later you see homes go on the market for resale as there were no attractions for these purchasers. They needed to drive up to The Original Villages North of CR-44 for something to do.
.
We moved out of The Villages in August of 2020 as it was getting too crowded anywhere we went due to the wanted lack of places for the new purchasers South of CR-44 to do by the "Money Hungry Morse Clan".
.
From what I have read on this site I can see we made the right move out of" The Villages" in 2020. Wish all home purchasers South of CR-44 the best of luck awaiting the creation of "Shopping, "Town Square", and enough Recreation Centers for everyone's convenience.

Comparing Richmond and points South in The Villages, is an entire different world than the more traditional areas of TV. The South is not the same and never will be.
