the old saying everything is relative is the issue here as well.
What is the expectation? No waiting? Always get the space you want?
The restruant you want when you want it? The t time you want? No traffic?
Of course not we are all reasonable.....eh?
Some of us who have been here for at least 10 years (and many more) can talk about when there were only 30,000 people here. No shopping what so ever South of 466 (not 466A....466). There were no homes south of 466 (not 466A....466). No shopping centers off Rolling Acres. No Lake Sumter Landing!!!!
Some might say there was nothing here....we and 30,000 +++ others did not see it that way.
Then TV continued South over the next 8 years. Reached a critical mass in size that began to attract national stores like Home Depot, Kohls, Target, etc.
At over 100,000 we are happy to have all that has come during our stay here. Would we do it again now that it "so big" or "so busy"? In a heart beat.
There are very few times over the years we could not do what we wanted when we wanted to do it. Or go where we wanted to go when we wanted to. Very few indeed. And yes the traffic has increased. Just think about it for a moment this years slow season traffic will exceed what was the busy season of only a few years ago.
We all know if there is a quality, desirable place to be, to go to eat to visit, to live, to play, et al it will be very popular and busy. So if some want to go where there is less of "busy" just remember you will get much less of a lot that we enjoy here.
To each his/her own......TV lifestyle....half the size or double or triple the size or whatever it winds up at will still be a unique lifestyle not easily duplicated many locations around the world.
