I don't think the question is whether the Village's are too big but rather what services, business, etc. are not growing fast enough to meet the population needs, As we grow the crime rate will grow and we will need better/more Police coverage. The sheriff's dept is great but not built to handle over 100,000 people. we need more and better resturants to do this there must be better deals for them and not looked at as a potential income delta for the Developer, we need better traffic controls which would come from serving the Law Enforcement needs, we need to set aside enough land to handle these needs and not use every acre for building houses without the supporting requirements to accomondate them. I could go on and on but the basics are not if the Villages are too big but is the need for support requirements understated. There is a very strong potential for "under planning" for business/services infrastructors and just putting up buildings. It is pretty safe to assume that Brownwood will not handle the very large number of residents in the area + the outside people who will come. Less anyone think this is just "smoke" it would be well to remember that monies were not put aside to maintain the Paradise Rec Center and in the end it took a law suit and $40M fine to wake the residents up. We have a great community but should not rest that someone is looking out for our futue as the homes grow. That is not the Developer's responsibility but is the residents. It is our responsibilty to ensure as the Village's grow it remains balanced with needs.
