As an added angle to this discussion, I noted in the post by RsenHolzi that the Walmart will be built on land owned by the Villages Land Operating Co.

While Walmart's are well known for allowing overnighters to park in their parking lots, that does not always happen. Overnighters with their travel trailers or R.V.s are usually not an issue, but some people that tend to live in their cars end up taking advantage of this generosity also. *Some*times that is more than just travelers or honest folks hard on their luck. *Some*times, that is drug-addicted thieves that bring trouble, blight, and lack of safety to the area.

I knew of a Walmart where overnight camping was not allowed because Walmart did not own the parking lot but simply leased it. The actual owners did not allow the generous Walmart policy and maintained enforcement of their own rules.

Time will tell how this is handled at this new Walmart Supercenter.
