The Morse family has been very successful in this planned project and this planned project brings a lot of mature people to a place where they have a large number of choices for their leisure time at a pretty affordable price.

I imagine that the developers could have done it better.....but they sure could have done it a whole lot worse. Seemes to me that The Villages is a better mousetrap.

Now about those kids of under fifty.............
Well said, GG. I assume the developer has made a lot of money. I assumed that when I bought my house. But that was not in the equation. My concern was what the developer provided. I liked what I saw and the price was OK. I have never regretted it.

BTW, I had a neighbor here for seven years who was under forty and single.
I couldn't have asked for a better neighbor. The only time we knew he was there was when he cranked up his Harley and that was rarely.
