I enjoy my golf cart, for shorter trips, but I do see your point.
The golf cart as a viable alternative to an automobile made a lot more sense when The Villages was a small bubble. Its continued importance is becoming more and more of a symbolic anachronism as TV continues to expand. My village is approaching 20 years old, just a wee bit north of 466A. Even at that location, a ride up to Lopez or Spanish Springs is about the limit of my desire to ride in the cart.
Ten years prior to that, when TV was yet to cross over 466, it made even more sense. Maybe when Eastport and the villages near Eastport get finished, it will make sense again for those close to that hub. But right now, if I lived down in the Villages south of Sawgrass, I'd probably have a cart, but wouldn't use it all that much.
