After a few years here you begin to realize that having over 100 pickleball courts that are full constantly is no better than 8 courts in a smaller community with more availability. Anticipated Commercial business is not keeping up with the Villages expansion. With the premium price we pay to live in the Villages the comparisons to other, smaller communities may begin to be not as favorable.
Moved here 10 years ago and took awhile for the Commercial business to take root so not sure because you think it's "Anticipated" it should appear now. Also, Commercial business will show up when their business plan works. That will take some time. I'm seeing a lot of commercial development now and that creates a whole bunch of other issues
