Can't say for sure, but the presence of Bonefish, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Golden Corral, Burger King, Arby's, Perkins, etc., may have been in some ways due to villagers' expression of interest in past surveys.
I was told the woodworking shop was built as a result of resident interest. I don't expect to get everything on a wish list to the developer, but I'm not so jaded to ignore the opportunity to express my desires on the survey.
