There may be other issues involved in this closing such as a liability.

no, johnboy, i think you have missed the point...villagers can no longer leave the villages as they have been able to do for 20 yrs...can no longer access medical offices they use...and those without car/driver's license can no longer exercise their ability to shop at locations that are not under the thumb of the developer. it's not a bad place to live...but losing our restaurant, destruction of our country club, failure to enforce covenants re property maintenance and now the wall make it a less desireable place to live.

many of the residents have been here from early on and are very established in their life patterns and habits which are slowly being eroded from under them - sorta like a sink hole that is escalating in pace. trying to make significant changes is generally difficult for those who are of an advanced age....which many of our historic side residents are.

the events on the historic side show a total lack of compassion for our residents.
