I don't have any evidence, but I really don't believe that the problem is that big. Making it less convenient for Villages doesn't seem, to me, to be an answer to what I believe is a rather small problem.

Actually I read an article just the other day that talked about the individual retirement communities and the number of houses along with other information. I seem to remember-and I am totally sure if I am wrong, the SC residents will be happy to correct me--but they have something like 2,300 houses in their community. And Spruce Creek had only slightly less, maybe 2000. Again, I totally admit I am not sure about the numbers, but I guess I could look it up. So, when you add 2300 to 2000, you get "thousands". Plus, some houses might have 2 golf carts. Also, the last time this issue came up, someone wrote that they lived across 441 also, and they want access too--no idea who that was.
I do understand that it would be very, very inconvenient to the people who live up near the wall. I was not 1 who said to put the wall back up, but I did say and still do that one day it may happen, or even if the wall doesn't go up on TV side, it may go up on the other private property. The owners of the various property may decide it is too much of a liability to have carts going back and forth. Other things unrelated to TV may stop the carts from TV from using the private property. I don't know all the situations. But you do need to realize that it may come to that, and be prepared for it. I personally didn't realize that there would be as many snowbirds here every winter, and I am not overjoyed about it, or the fact that I don't like a lot of the restaurants here. But I too just have to accept that if I want to live here. There are things everyone would change if we could, but it still is a wonderful place, and I just have deal with it, because I love living here... it is what it is...
