I have this to say about that. If you carefully have read a lot of posts for several years you will see that people never thought that the Lake Sumter Landing area would have business to rent it, and business around it. I think that as the need is perceived by businesses, that they will come and fill the need for grocery stores, doctors, hair salons and restaurants. That is the beauty of capitalism and free enterprise. Unfortunately, or fortunately for them, the landowners around the new builds are holding on for a very high price for their property and the business may be built down the road and not golf cart accessible, but sooner or later, I think it will fill in, later than some want but sooner than some think.
It will all work out, I think.
It will be hell on wheels during the months of January, February and March when our population swells. But the wise will stay a bit out of harms way, cook at home more, golf at places they haven't gone before, let the seat savers have at it and work around it.
And the grasshoppers need to be patient. It will come. It will come.

I'm on a roll with analogies. Here's one that seems to represent this attitude.
You go to your doctor for a check-up and he says that everything is fine. However, there is a surgery that he has performed numerous times without failure. Intrigued, you ask him what the negatives are. He says there are some pains for a few years, but eventually it all works out. Still intrigued, you ask about the benefits. He says there really aren't any, but don't worry I know what I'm doing, having done it many times and things "should" all work out for you.
Given lack of benefits but years of pain, how many would opt for this surgery? Based on this poll, apparently almost half the people on TOTV would choose it.
