The romantic walk analogy is strange for me because if I moved to a promised development of at least 110,000 people, I wouldn't be expecting a lot of privacy in public.
I believe the "Final Phase" used in marketing was the developers truth at the time. I do think the Morse's had thought The Villages would be contained within those borders.
However, life is fluid and when that beautiful piece of land on 466A became available, the Morse's changed their plans. My husband and I had hoped The Villages would acquire that property but we have the confidence in these developers that some don't.
As I said in my previous post, we have the option of leaving here anytime we no longer like it, that leaves us able to enjoy life here and now. Perhaps yours is the twisted logic, why would one insist we constantly worry about problems with The Villages that may never happen?
Who knows, maybe some of the profits from this development will be used to pay the penalties from the IRS suit. There's another positive!

Always, Peachie gets to the bottom line and clearly posts it.
I have utmost respect for her evaluations.
I think the OP is surprised by the results of the poll. Obviously most of us think that continued expansion is o.k.
Now either people who disagree with the results above will say that we who post on TOTV are not representative of the population or in someway tell us how they do not agree with the results.
Seniors are damn stubborn.
I try to keep an open mind and sometimes my mind is changed by an excellent argument from someone I have learned to respect on this forum.
I feel Peachie's post most clearly sum up what is happening here.
