I know I like not having a ton of crowded retail space around me, as I barely patronize brick-and- mortar stores anymore, nor do most of my neighbors.

Wife and I were just discussing this. Other than restaurants, food shopping, and sometimes clothes, we don't go to retail stores for anything at all. Most clothes are even ordered online. We have no need for much retail being close. We also don't think a 30 minute cart ride to town squares is a big deal. Especially once we are retired and have nothing but time. I mentioned previously (maybe in a different thread) that in Lake Denham we have easy access to Sawgrass, Homestead, Ezel, Franklin as well as the Dabney pool. Brownwood and Eastport a 30 minute cart ride. Plus we walking trails for miles. The area will sell out.
