We have friends who moved into a planned community up near Jacksonville about the same time we moved here. They had to drive about 30 minutes back then to shop etc. I don't think the folks in the southern part of T.V. are suffering too much. They knew when they bought there what the "lay of the land" was. Think of the excitement though, as they get their desired commerce etc. It will eventually come!!
Been meaning to look into that idiom for some time, now. Looks like you'd have to be British in order to go for "lie of the land". :-)
