The Villages Construction Update 2-9-2021
 

Here’s another construction update for The Villages area. This was shot over the weekend. It shows the progress at the new Starbuck, Magnolia Plaza, both sides of the Water Lily bridge, the areas north of DeLuna and west of the Red Fox and Grey Fox golf courses, the St. Catherine and Hawkins areas, and the Southern Oaks golf course.

Thanks Don.

Those multi story plywood apartments look like fire traps.

Thanks to your videos I'm actually starting to get to know my way around. Thanks for your continued dedication in getting these videos out.

Great video, Don. I might have missed this before but, why did they not build dedicated/separated cart paths when building the Warm Springs Bridge over the Turnpike?

:ohdear:

Do you know where the water used to fill the new ponds comes from?

Same construction as the Lofts at Brownwood. The only things masonry are elevator shafts and stairwells

Informative and entertaining
 

Well done. Another great update. Thank you.

Storm drains.

Thank you sir for another excellent video.
Although I live in The Villages, I just sometimes
become very lazy to step outside my house and view
for myself the unbelievable growth occurring in
The Villages. :bigbow:

I enjoy looking at your videos.

I enjoy them more when they are free of politics.

Pointing out facts are not politics. Is he lying?

These videos are about the growth of The Villages and the businesses in the surrounding areas, the road impact fee was a significant impact on this growth process. It's important for everyone to realize that the 3 Stooges goal of "screw the developer" will affect all of us. The amount I show in the video are to give everyone an idea of what this impact is. Take for example the carwash, if they have to recover these higher costs it will mean higher prices for every carwash.

Remember, businesses don't pay taxes, they merely collect them and pass them on to the government that levies the taxes, it is a very inefficient process. In the end it is the consumer that pays all taxes and loses.

These videos are so informative, takes out much of the rumor mill gossip. The impact fee highlights are an eye opener and scary! Impressive video on every level, thank you.
