But like the majority of TV residents, your solution now to this little quandary is Deny, Deny, Deny.

This is my solution? You have twisted the fact, EdV, that even though YOU believe our cart paths are public, the fact is non-Villagers do not have access to these blacktopped golf cart paths unless they cross the private property of The Villages or come in on their street legals. Can you verify with certainty that the Morse's went after tax-free bonds to pour that small area of concrete cart path between the houses by Paradise Dr.?
If Stonecresters are able to open up golf cart access to The Villages on this golf cart path, a precedent is set. Golf cart access would have to be permitted to all adjacent residential areas. The Villages was not built with this intent. That precedent would create an impact to The Villages which would be far reaching... more crowded paths, a loss in safety and less security that we now enjoy, more trash and vandalism, (you can't discriminate against children driving carts) and upkeep.
If the Morse's are unable to stem the general public from accessing The Villages at any point on a golf cart, they may as well forget about developing anymore land. Who would buy in The Villages when they could buy in a cheaper place like Stonecrest, sneak in and use The Villages maintained properties and not pay the piper? How about a $5. entry charge each time a non-Villages cart wants to use our cart paths and that would fulfill my earlier statement, "if you want to play with us, you pay with us".
Perhaps some Stonecresters should look at moving into The Villages so they could use their golf carts for EVERYTHING and not have difficulties getting to needed facilities from their limited community.
So, EdV, I would be careful what you wish for, if you create a way to trash The Villages lifestyle, you have to live next to it in Stonecrest.
