Bogie, you are right about private ownership of the path from the Villages gate to the stores. Some of it is owned by a Duke Energy, some is owned by Walmart, etc.
However, there is one private owner (Mr. Brown) who owns the most important piece of land and he allowed both the Stonecrest and Villagers to travel over his land to the benefit of both groups. He did this over a decade ago and it has worked well for all. He got no personal benefit from this gracious gesture. He was just a good neighbor to all. Now that a Gate has gone up (there was one there originally, but it opened for all) only one group benefits over this private property. And that is the hypocritical point that I have made. Villagers think, FOR THEM, it is ok to use others Private Property, but no one should use theirs'
Sounds pretty one-sided. Mr. Brown could, if he wanted stop all traffic going across his land and then nobody benefits.
This Topic is just a silly exercise in propaganda. It really is time to end it.
