The thing about the Villages is that each little area is separate in alot of of ways from the rest of the Villages. I live in Silver Lake and what happens down near Brownwood doesn't affect me. Heck, what happens south of 466 rarely affects me. I think that's the beauty of The Villages. It is a bunch of smaller villages all by a common theme but not really affecting each other very much.

I think it is this attitude that pervades a lot of this opinion - as long as it's not in my backyard, it's not my problem, so let others worry about it.. The unfortunate thing is that what is happening in the southeastern part of TV has significant impact on those who live there.
I love Graciegirl's general positive attitudes about TV, but must say that I am a bit disappointed in her views on this. In other posts she has talked about the congestion at Publix at Colony and said you have to take turns breathing there and advised people to buy in areas where there is not so much congestion. Yet, now that she no longer lives there she is more than happy to see an additional 4,000 people contend for that store as well as the Colony Cottage rec center.
There is still a lot of undeveloped land up near Southern Trace. I wonder if people who live in that area would be as positive about future development if that becomes the next growth area and thousands of additional people go to that Publix and contend for activities at Laurel Manor. Just because recent growth has been to the south, it doesn't mean that that's the only place that it will go.
