I case you haven't noticed, Spanish Springs area seems to be dying from lack of people going there.

Traffic is horrible here in the villages! Every car that doesn't come here, gives more space for carts. I think the developer should make it easier for all the neighboring communities to have easy access to The Villages by golf cart. Doesn't really matter who pays for the cart paths.
I think that comparing this to driving on states roads is like apples and oranges. This issue is about people transversing privately owned property.

I don't see the traffic here as being horrible. I don't know where you come from, but I have lived in places where traffic is horrible and even in the winter, the traffic here is not bad.

But what is interesting is that after stating that traffic is horrible, you go on to say that the Spanish Springs area is dying from lack of people going there. How can it be that there is too much traffic, not enough parking spaces because too many people are going there and yet it is dying from lack of people going there?

First of all, I don't see where the Spanish Springs area is dying. It is a little slower now that the summer is here, but I think it is far from dying. But you are trying to make a point by arguing to opposing views.
