We have lived most of our life in large metropolitan areas. Dallas- Fort Worth close to 7 million. Atlanta close to 6 million. My husbands family lives in Orange County CA...population over 3 million. When my husbands family first moved to El Torro, CA the population was 200 and it is now over 77,000. Why have these areas grown so much? Because they are desirable areas. The Villages is a desirable area and will continue to grow in some fashion even if the developer stops building. Growth =equals progress. Without growth we become stagnant. When we become stagnant we begin to decay. To sustain future generations we must have growth. Do we want change? Maybe not, but change is inevitable and I vote for the future and therefore I vote for growth.
