Who knows how long we will continue to be snowflakes, spending Five months in TV and seven months in Kansas City, but for now that works well for us. The point of this post is that, as far as I’m concerned, south of 44 doesn’t exist. I see no reason to go down there, not that there aren’t good things there, but because everything I need or want exists above hwy 44. I am certainly not bashing that area, I realize there are great reasons that people choose to live there and many, if not most, love it. I think I represent a lot of people who would never consider moving south of 44, not out of a dislike or hate for that area, but just because we find nothing about that area that offers anything that appeals to us that we can’t access north. Please know, I’m not a hater of the new areas, just someone who is very fond of the areas north and with zero interest in the areas south. I presume there are some who feel the same as us, just as I am sure there are others who strongly disagree. Let’s hear it.

I have been here since the Villages was only the historic section and Spanish Springs. Not going to lie, I miss those days. Very few people knew of the Villages and it was quaint and private. And, extremely inexpensive!
Along came Legacy and Mulberry area, and we thought our world was ending. We now had to share our "private oasis" with thousands more people. We made that adjustment and happily coexisted.
Wake up one morning, read the Daily Sun and WHAAAAAT? The family is going to build another community on the other side of 466! It was a hard pill to swallow, but we knew nothing could be done. The rest is history. Smile and make the best of it. Development happens!
Like you, I am not interested in the southern area. To me, it is just more of the developer's "same ol" planning and design. But, I am happy for those who have found their little piece of heaven. Welcome everyone and enjoy! Pretty soon, you too, will be complaining about the continual growth like the 8000 homes planned south of your present south. It doesn't seem there will ever be an end.
