I for one apologizes to the Developer if he agrees to take the wall down and put in a "control gate". If he put the wall up because the new Assisted Living Center was lined up to use the streets and carts of the north side of the villages (Orange Blossom,etc.) across from 441/27 along with the other communities outside of The Villages using them then I for one totally support him. Why should the north end be saddled with outside traffic. The roads, paths etc were not built to support that load. I don't want to hear why not open up that part of TV's to all anymore than I would expect the residents of the various villages would welcome heavy traffic in their community. Believe me, using the pools as an example would be abused. We already get outsiders in the pool who don't pay for the upkeep, etc.
I believe a gate that requires an "opener" to open the gate is both appropriate and the right thing. Think how smart the builders of the Assisted Living were. They built a cart path and made everyone think it was for The Villagers. Oops' not so it was for them to have open usage of the Orange Blossom Villages and Village residency without paying the freight.
The only thing that I would seriously fault the Developer for was his lack of good PR people. He has to have the worse PR staff in the country..
