That is a great idea.

I learn new things every day on TOTV, so I was prepared for another.

All non-dietary of course.

I stand by my opinion. Very poorly planned.

Wildwood has over 1,000 homes currently under construction that are not part of the villages by refusing to cave to the villages demands it shows other developers that they have a chance to compete. The villages may be the best in the business but that doesn't mean there aren't other very competent developers ready to step in.

We drove south down Rolling Acres and turned past a new development that folks had talked about. Not much goin' on.......few BIG houses.

No matter what, if it's a plus 55, it will be an also ran.

There are not a lot of jobs here in this area to support families.

I think that I have me figured out. I am a Villager and I support my team.

I think Wildwood shot themselves in the foot.

There are almost 500 homes going in on 472 and 1/2 mile off of hwy 301. 585 homes on 301 and 466, 770 homes ,600+ apartments and 220,000 ft of retail space on the corner of 301 and 472 (Oxford oaks development not started yet) I think theres over 100 on 301 and peppertree lane as well and thousands more in the development stage.

I understand that you're rooting for your teem as a matter of fact i beleave we're on the same team. I just don't beleave it has to be one sided.

That may be more important in the long run. Sooner or later, someone will develop that land, who remains to be seen.

My understanding is that the City of Wildwood has rules and regulations that The Villages Developer could not or would not abide by. The Developer wanted to play by their rules. I am sure another builder will come along and develop the property. The taxpayers don't loose.

It is the TONE here that bothers me.

WHY should The Villages do things their way, when the Morse's way is such a proven success. We don't have sidewalks, big whoopty do.

When you are a proven success, why change?

I would rather have more of The Villages next door than anyone else.

Morse envy liveth.

Personally, I don't want that development there. They are too cheap to put a tunnel under 466A to give direct access to Pinellas and would make those residents bring their carts all the way back through the Tamarind Grove pool area, which is the most beautiful pool/postal park in TV. There are many old live oaks and beautiful landscaping, and the pool is so private. The wind rustling through there makes for a gorgeous, tranquil site. Not a house can be seen from that pool. If they rip that apart to put a golf cart path through it, I will be sorely ticked off. And they've demonstrated in the Fruitland Park area that they think nothing of taking down healthy live oaks. They could ruin that park in an afternoon, not to mention drive down housing values around there. Because Tamarind Grove Run will be inundated with traffic it was never meant to accommodate, and turning left from TGRun onto St. Charles will be more of a nightmare than it is now in the winter.

My hope is that this is a done deal and the developer will not bring it back up after the current mayor is out of office. But I fear that is not the case.

I don't understand the resentment towards those who think Wildwood did not lose anything because the Morses pulled out of the deal. The derogatory comments regarding Wildwood and it's citizens is downright rude. How about being happy to live in the villages, and just respect those who don't live here?
