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

Really? I'd to hear you tell the people that work over there and don't drive that they're over reacting. Especially the ones who were at work and found this wall as they tried to return to their homes int he morning.
Or tell it to my wife who had the opportunity to go to work for another supermarket and turned it down because she just got promoted at Aldi.
I'd also like you to tell this to the people who no longer drive for whatever reason who have chosen the doctors in that medical building because they are able to get to them unassisted.
I'd like you to tell someone who does not drive and cannot get to the urgent care facility located on Villages property that has golf cart accessible for the past ten years that they are over reacting.
How about someone who has just made the decision to go into that new assisted living facility because they'd be able to visit their friends and family by going through that gate that has been there as long as they have.
The developer put in this cart gate and many of us made life decisions based on the fact that it was there.
It's pretty easy to sit there and say we're over reacting when you're not affected by it.
