Also part of the puzzle, is country clubs where the advertising says, everyone is a member, when actually they are public restaurants where anyone can dine, and where anyone can golf as long as they pay. Not saying any of this is "bad", but many MANY people just seem to have the illusion that this is a very private, exclusive, enclave !? It does not take long to find another posting from a frustrated resident who does not understand why the development is "overrun" with "outsiders" (seemingly those who do not live IN one of the villages) are doing here at the squares, in the country clubs, etc. !?

I don't remember what well know entrepreneur said: You SELL the SIZZLE, not the steak".

Don't forget the lack of medical services, overcrowded, and traffic issues. Ugh! Years ago, this place was a beautiful and quiet place to retire. Now it is a haven for wannabes who can't wait until they have reached the age of 55. Eastport is going to bring the under-age in by droves.
