Sorry, Red, but I do disagree with you on this one. When someone bought in to Bison Valley they knew what amentities (pool, tennis courts, etc) they were or were not getting. Bison doesn't have these kinds of common area facilities and it is no doubt reflected in their HOA fees. If such amenities are/were important enough to a potential homebuyer then there are other alternatives like Lakeside Landings and Parkwood.

The Villages has a very generous overall guest policy for our out of town visitors and tries to accommodate local close relatives with the in area guest pass. I think the policies work just fine the way they are. Also, there are 2 other, older, but similar developments to Bison ... Arbor Village off of 466 and something Oaks near Target. Where would it stop???

I welcome GMoney and all his fine neighbors in Bison Valley as part of the larger Villages community and hope they do enjoy the squares, movie theatres, shopping, schools etc. It takes a lot of skilled workers to support a city that is this large and still growing.
