If it is a bowling alley, then I'm for it. Maybe you don't bowl, but that sport is one that lots of people in The Villages play and the two facilities that we presently have are extremely busy.
I do feel sadness about the trees being cut. Were these old trees free from disease? Maybe, maybe not. Old trees are subject to disease, becoming brittle and having limbs fall, even though they look healthy. Winds can cause limbs to come crashing down.
Saw enough tall trees fall in CA....eucalyptus to be specific. Granted, they aren't live oak, but tall, old trees can still be a problem. Where I lived, an entire orchard had to be removed...the trees look healthy, but the roots were infected and the trees were going to die.
I'm saddened that an old tree has been removed. Maybe it was just because the space was needed, maybe it was because of potential problems with it in the future. We don't know specifically and speculating is just that, speculating. If I sound like I'm defending the builder, it's not my intention, though he is the one who owns the property and has the right to do as he wishes, with permission from all local authorities.
