Be careful who you invite to the party...

Funny I have yet to see a riot in wildwood, Brownwood, or Spanish springs. Crime is everywhere and committed by every race and nationality, not all from wildwood.

The Widwood property will be developed . A knee jerk reaction against TV will leave the oppurtunity for mxed use - commercial, multi family, mid or high rise appartments (posssibly section 8) and much more on this property. The possibility of greater population density is a real concern. So TV does not develop the site but the outcome creates more people , more traffic, more noise -on and on .What a great outcome.

Why do you say it was a knee jerk reaction against TV? My understanding is that Morse pulled out, not Wildwood. Wildwood was just sticking with their restrictions. Sounds like they were being consistent, not reacting. No one builds higher density than Morse. Likely any other development will be LESS homes, less traffic, and less noise. I'm glad Morse pulled out. Now the TV amenities won't be even more crowded.

I just learned what a Contrarian is, someone who enjoys bringing up...on the other hand such and such could/would/did happen. Sometimes called an outlaw.

Wildwood wasn't sticking with their restrictions, they were trying to accomplish what Fruitland Park couldn't. And they didn't.

So now they don't have what Fruitland Park has. Nice homes and a bigger tax base without having to spend money to build schools.

You have to get up MIGHTY early in the morning to get ahead of The Villages, Inc. They are MY team.

Go Villages. I like what you are doin' and what you aren't doin' too.

I like what they aren't doing too! Very much so. And the fact that they just sent something around claiming they are done building makes me even more hopeful.

Apartments for one would add significantly more density .Mid rise condos, ditto. In both cases, more school rooms would be required by statute.

I too have not seen any riots in the squares to date, but that does not mean we could not see one at some point. Evidently; all it takes is a police officer shooting an unarmed 18 year old guy (I believe that guy had punched the officer in the face, as the officer inquired about the theft the guy had committed at a convenience store a few minutes earlier, and then the guy charged at the officer while the officers weapon was drawn).

While crime might be committed everywhere and by every race and nationality, a person would need to bury their head in the sand not to realize; some places have more crime than others.

No need to denigrate someone who doesn't agree with your position. I know you think the villages is the end all be all, but some people think over development isn't progress. Life isn't all about money.

I know there is concern about overdevelopment, but take a look around at Wildwood. How do you think the city fathers have done on their own? I am amazed how anyone could consider their plan to be better than one from The Villages. I know people like to root for the underdog, but the reasons that Wildwood is an underdog should be an eye opener.
