Some crime and traffic will also follow this population increase. There seems to be a demand for these apartments and homes, but they can't all be housing for people who work in the Villages. I, like Don, wonder why they want to live in Wildwood and Lady Lake and where they will work. Could they be rented by family or friends of seniors who live in the Villages?

(Title should be demand exists, but why?)
As the area grows there will be more stores such as groceries and restaurants to meet the demand. As far as I can tell most Villagers hardly ever go to the squares for entertainment once they are here for awhile.
