It seems to me that the folks who live in Stonecrest have made a choice. I'm sure it's lovely and has many advantages. The homes are less expensive (I recently saw a stucco home - 3B, 3b with pool for $199,900!) and it is certainly less crowded. They have their own amenities and pay accordingly.

However, I believe they already benefit immensely from their proximity to TV. Imagine an episode of Twilight Zone where they wake up one morning and TV has completely disappeared and has been replaced with farm land and grazing cattle! All of the restaurants, shops and entertainment is gone. Most of the businesses on the edge of TV would have to close their doors. Where would they find a VA hospital then? How attractive would their community be to other retirees if TV didn't exist?

They're not being denied access!!!! They just have to use their car. As others have said, if they don't have a car certainly a neighbor would be willing to drive them or Stonecrest could set up a shuttle service.

Nicely stated. Thank you and welcome to TOTV, and hopefully soon, we look forward to welcoming you to The Villages.
