Many good observations, Don. But I would only say that if you’d like to l live in a small town environment, The Villages isn’t the right place for you.

My wife and I moved here when the Mallory mail station was pretty much the furthest thing on the south end of The Villages. The population was about 35,000 and the pace of construction didn’t seem to be anything remotely close to the current rate. Our bottom line — if we visited and saw the way The Villages looks now, without question we wouldn’t buy a house here now.

The current Villages isn’t “bad”, it just wouldn’t be for us.
