Having our neighbors use "our" multi modal paths to frequent "our" businesses and restaurants is no different.

Bille, I totally disagree with you on this one. Everyone loves the Morse business model that built this community and so many want to change it into something one wouldn't recognize in a few years if they could all implement their changes.
Almost all retirement communities have pools, club houses, entertainment, rec centers BUT what they don't have is full golf cart access for which you and I and everyone living in The Villages pay a premium. You are willing to open the borders to allow everyone to use their golfcarts on our paths; what a can of worms that would be. First and foremost would be security, how easy would it be to glide into The Villages in an electric cart and wreak havoc.
You and I have to get in our cars to patronize businesses beyond our borders here, why is that such a stretch for Stonecresters? (Who, BTW, have gates and can keep out carts other than their own.)
We'll see what happens, many of us won't stay to find out how fast things go down hill if all outside communities are given access to the paths.
