I agree. And I found it pretty humorous that when I got to the last line in the post that he was ONLY a part time resident that had yet to absorb a complete understanding of The Villages. Maybe they should have led with that fact. When they say that Spanish Springs are losing businesses, he may not be aware that the same thing has been going on for 10 or more years. The Villages has a habit of raising the RENT on various businesses until they give up and leave. The Villages is just a hard place to keep a business going. Lots of Villagers have the time and money to OFTEN go out to restaurants or bars. So, the various businesses have a BIG source of customers.
......Judging by traffic on 441 The whole Villages area is booming in the summer and even MORE in the winter. All of Florida has been increasing in population not decreasing. If things were so BAD in The Villages, then there would be FOR SALE signs on every block. Right now property values are HIGH.
