Your new village is not the first to be trashed and won’t be the last. In 2010 we bought in Newly developing Pennacamp. We were called every name one can think of by buying a home in an area that nobody will ever live in because it’s so FAR from the middle of TV universe LSL.

You can’t get here from there, there’s no Shopping, all the good rec centers are miles away.

“ You just threw away money into a pit that you will be underwater the day you close” so bashing of new villages will go on for multiple reasons.

So just enjoy your home when you can, ignore posts. Just because it’s not an ideal village for some, doesn’t mean it’s not ideal for others. Bashing is now more targeted to all of the south vs north.

We didn’t like the LSL area, and just kept moving south to get away from retail, office complexes and the traffic that comes with it. Hopefully all those empty commercial lots will stay that way.
