It’s not like in a 55+ retirement community that said developer doesn’t have realization that it, on some levels, becomes an aging and limited mobility population....agreed. That said, in an entrepreneurial economy as rich as ours...don’t you think if rideshares, taxis, shuttle or bus services saw the need that has been expressed here....that all the above wouldn’t be deployed all over the region to date? Why is that? I know of no restrictions or ordinance that would restrict it. Maybe it’s just as simple as has been stated many times here.....the ‘demand’ doesn’t justify the need.
I sent a link earlier to another poster. Again, it’s a good option and starting point for those who need an affordable and dedicated assist on occasion...

The developer put a lot of thought into creating the villages, but their focus was on selling homes and activities, the lifestyle. But they couldn't think of everything. And the lifestyle changes and needs change.
Lots of room for entrepreneurs to come up with all kinds of sales or services to fill a void. Besides, the developer already has a business. Real-estate! Let others provide food, clothing, autos, hair and nail salons, etc. Even taxi service.
