I am 74 years old and I have lived in many wonderful areas in my life but nothing has even come close to the way The Villages is run. I cringe to think of any change where the residents would make the decisions about this place. We would become a town like all of the ones we left, with elected mayors and too many projects where money is squandered and the amenity fees would have to go up. up. up. Everyone would get every little thing they want, we would have ten indoor pools, ten dog parks, an enormous performance center and we would be changing the street signs from hind side too and back again and there would be discussions about painting murals inside the tunnels and having five star chefs at McDonalds and pay a thousand dollars a month in amenities. We would keep changing contracts on the roadside landscaping and soon the mulch would disappear and weeds appear and the roundabouts would be changed to signs that say, every man for himself. We would squabble over speed limits and age limits and fences.
HORRORS.
