I think grocery stores, restaurants and other shopping definitely falls into the needs category. Commercial development is profit-driven, and will definitely happen as The Villages grows larger. And larger. And larger.

Dog parks actually aren't an issue for us personally, I don't have a horse in this race. We pay to take our two dogs each day to a private dog park. We don't mind paying, and we'll continue to do that. However I think a few more small dog parks would go a long way to lessen some of the friction currently felt by those who don't want to see dogs walked at the postal stations or in the neighbourhood.
