People are moving here for the same reasons most of us moved here. We certainly can't fault them for their good insight and judgement. And, as word of The Villages spreads throughout the country, demand to come here will only increase. I think the way to handle the impact of the growth, especially during snowbird season, is to explore the surrounding communities given that you said you have a car. For example, an Ocala resident I met on the airport shuttle during Christmas told me about an excellent live theater at the Ocala civic center. I plan to investigate that further. The Villages is a great asset to all the merchants and vendors near it. I think the saying "a rising tide floats all boats" is an apt one for the communities near us.
