What is there to know about the "Developers?" Haven't heard much good.

It is a good reminder for me to be patient with new posters.
That's before you drank the Kool Aid.....

Seriously, all one has to do is drive all over Florida from coast to coast to see other mass developements that were begun and have literally "gone nowhere"....with here a single house..........there a single house......and nothing in between.........there are such places.

WE've even seen ones with canals that go nowhere......

Streets that have weeds taking over the empty lots....with a single home built........and a partially, but never completed rec center.

Not just the developements that went bust in the last economic turndown.
We've been visiting Florida since 1965 and there are places that just never "got off the ground"..........so I'd say The Villages developers are doing something right.......and the place is a magnet for retirees.........just by word of mouth.
