Do you think The Villages will ever be "built out".....

[The Villages Guy]

...or do you think they will just continue to buy more land, build more villages and town squares?

[Goober III]

Years ago, I was told by an "authority who should know" that The Villages would be totally "built out" by the year 2010. So it won't be long now...

[Polar Bear]

No.

[Mrs. Robinson]

It will never be built out because there are too many mouths to feed.
The Morse family, et al, will only keep growing and the possibility of unrest from within could be a real thing.
I only hope that we -- the residents -- are not the ones who suffer.

I am pretty sure they have enough dough to feed the Morse mouths for several generations and very well too. They may be concerned with keeping all of the workers working. That would be sensitive and kind. They have changed Sumter County from one of the poorest to a very low unemployment area. I love to see people working and not on welfare roles. Work brings dignity.

I don't know when it will stop growing. Who knows when anything will change or growth stop in any city.. I would rather the Morses build it and take care of it and decide on it than some other developer that isn't as wonderful. Someone is gonna keep building around here, better more of the same than a bunch of young people. Young people are aggravating the fool out of me right now with their protesting.

The last Town Square will be in St. Pete--or maybe St. TV

[Taltarzac725]

That's a lot of golf cart paths.

[Opmoochler]

We've only been here a year, but I have already begun to realize that slowly but surely the open spaces that I thought made TV attractive and not just a sprawling city are disappearing - such a shame.

[twoplanekid]

Options to obtain land near the main section of TV is getting limited and golf cart access even less likely. A Google earth view shows many manmade and natural obstacles to overcome for a cost effective and reasonable plan to expand. The Village of Fenney operation and selling will tell us all how the future of TV may come to pass

[NYGUY]

No..:MOJE_whot:

[Chi-Town]

Future development may come from Villages like Fenney that are not contiguous or land that is available for development after repurposing. Property north of 466 between Buena Vista and Morse for example.

I am not anxious for a build out, as I feel there is no better overseer than the Morse family.

As my sales agent said, probably not built out any time soon but future TV building may not be golf cart accessible to the rest of TV.

For me any part that is not GC accessible is not “TV.” So, IMO there will be a time that I would consider TV “built out.” And it may not be too many years out.

To answer your question with the information available to us... Most likely NOT.. the internal support services may not be able to keep up with the developer. Eg. response times for emergency services... water issues bound to be of question... Sumter County about to give away our water?
enough memory care.?. nursing care..? etc. Law enforcement always in the minds of residents.. etc etc. I know we all want to be the last to arrive... but please come to your senses whom ever may be in charge. I am not in the circle to worry about the unemployed bodies that keep on coming! Please come to a slow down and then just stop the additions... The residents I think are generallyl of this opinion?

The sky is not falling.
Response times emergency servicers....new facilities and staff have been added as new villages are developed.

Look around........more nursing and memory care facilities are being built....some question if there are too many.

Sumter county sheriff has added staff as the population has grown.

What unemployed bodies are you referring too??

Water issues. Yes, I agree no more bottling companies. By the way, that "problem" is up to us, to get in their way.

[justjim]

Build out always an interesting subject. As Yogi said, "It ain't over until its over". If we use golf cart assessability as a guide to be part of "The Villages", it could be sooner than later. If you count a Village such as Fenney as part of The Villages it could be much later than sooner. Clear as mud, no?

In order to get golf carts south of Rt 44 you will need a golf cart bridge or tunnel. Of course, you will need the same at the Florida Turnpike to connect the village of Fenney. I know one Developer capable of doing this job and has been successful at doing it before.

In short, there is a lot of land available south of Rt. 44 and it is very likely to be developed one day. I prefer the Morse family be that Developer because they did a quality job building what we know as The Villages. Fore!

[kcrazorbackfan]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Never.......

Let's just hope the Developers keep up with not only the infrastructure, but, most importantly, keep building golf courses.

[Stdole]

Bogie Shooter... I am referring to the people that knock on my front door looking for work or if I have anything for them I would like done...

Apparently unemployed or they would not need my money or work..

I have a friend that works at one of the Recreation Centers... when the Sheriff is called (at times) the response times are unacceptable from time to time
Yes, I can speak to this issue.. retired from this area after 30 yrs. so yes.. I will say again this area is not keeping up.. Recently there was an
issue at Rohan Rec Center in need of Medical Personnel.. Not going into details with this thread.

Nothing is perfect----try calling 911 in New York City. Since you were in the field, you know response time can vary due to a large number of factors.

As far as future development south of 44 goes, "Where there is a will, there is a way"

yep

[rubicon]

don't care

How do you know the people knocking on your door have moved to TV? Probably didn't. How do the "whom ever may be charge" stop people from moving to the area?

[Tracie Mccall]

As long as they are m as king money they will build

[2BNTV]

The short answer is no!!!!!!!!

I am hoping population maxes out at about 150,000. Yikes were almost there, as pop is 118,300 with another 2,350 homes to be built, (Fenney and the development on the north side near 42).

I would like to add that several years ago when some people thought a build-out date would happen, they were predicting TV would be run down and becomes a ghost town.

Well, that's not going to happen as the Morse family plans to pass running TV to seceeding generations. We'll all be gone by then. :smiley:
