As others have posted, it really isn't that bad. The problem, IMO. is that we get spoiled during the May through October period where we can pretty much do what we want when we want. So when our seasonal residents return, the change seems overwhelming and frustrating. What is anticipated this year is that, with the tremendous growth south of 466A, there will be more people than the existing shops, restaurants, golf courses, etc. can handle. As more commercial development occurs and more golf courses are opened, the difficulties will be somewhat reduced. The same thing happened years ago to a lesser degree when they crossed 466 and LSL had not been fully developed/occupied.
