Great post Don Wiley! We moved here nearly 14 yrs ago so have seen the growth. I'm happy the developer has a vision and puts plans into place. So many of our friends who've come can't believe this place. I think they envisioned manufactured homes instead of the ones we have in place. We've seen amenities added---the hospital, medical clinics, school and businesses. Some of these were here and had additions put in. I've never understood the mentality of first buying then wanting to change everything from the governance to infrastructure and just the way of doing business.
All this said, I'm still in contact via social media with the community we moved here from. The comments up there could be inter-changed with here. Complaints of growth, of traffic, how badly people drive, round-abouts----ALL the same as here. Oh, add in the healthcare too. When we left up there---medical care was great. NOW people are asking where are the doctors going and why did they leave??!!! Same as here! Frankly I'm very happy with our retirement decisions so have to wonder what utopia people think they're getting. Just a rhetorical question to cast out there. One I have is---were y'all happy where you once came from and if so, why did you move?? Whatt were/are your expectations once you did??
