A pickle ball clinic requires you to sign up a week before. all sign ups were filled within the first ten minutes of the date opening up. Bunco, no room at the tables.
We were actually told "we have more tables, just not enough chairs"
Come on, really! Just order some more folding chairs.
Life long learning college course is SOLD OUT.
We haven't even attempted a dinner out yet! Have cooked home every night.

I know I will get flamed royally for this post. I would never buy a house here because of these experiences. For those of you tempted to say "good more room for someone else" I simply say look around at all the construction.
Can the villages really sustain more growth?
Would love some good, honest feedback.
It can be very frustrating when all the tables are filled and you cannot be accommodated at the Rec centers. That is why, most people have these things at their house on a regular basis. Once you meet your neighbors and establish some friendships, you won't even go to the rec centers anymore. People have game nights at their homes all the time. Much more enjoyable.
