Although true you have to wait, prior to buying in Marsh Bend, we would drive our car to get groceries, and before magnolia plaza was completed, we still drove the car to get groceries, so if you know how to drive a car, you can still get groceries, and even gas, doesn't mean you can't buy a house where you want to buy it, and wait for the stopping plazas to get built out.

getting golf cart gas is a bigger issue nearby than groceries, so if there isn't gas nearby, getting a 5 gallon container for buying and storing golf cart gas is almost a requirement.
I wouldn't be surprised if cart gas become available at a local maintenance shed as happened at Fenny.

Maybe part off the problem is growth is so fast here commercial business start construction late relative to demand. Parking lots fill the day new business open.

Magnolia Plaza is already so busy it's hard to find a parking spot during typical busy shopping times.
