As for free golf, it is the closest to free this woman has seen in her 73 years.


And there are many vistas, and photo ops and beautiful free spaces with tall trees, bushes and flowers that the planners have left for us to enjoy.

Keep it coming, I say. If it ain't broke, it don't need to be fixed.
I agree. I don't understand why people think that things like this affect them. I live in a nice little house in one of most crime free areas in the country. I have all of these amenities for $145 a month and the cost of living is pretty low. The air is clean, the grounds are immaculate. I love this place and I have a great life here. What do I care if some is going to build more stores or houses on 900 acres of land that is not being used?

I bet that the people in the historic district were having these same conversations when the began building on the other side of 441/27. The world didn't end. The Villages didn't become a horrible place to live. If anything it became better.
