Digression? I connect with my bathroom multiple times a day.

Connectivity- yes we're very interested in it and the status of the Magnolia shopping area. Have a house in Monarch Grove. We watch Gold Wingnut's drone videos carefully to see if Magnolia is ever shown. Last we saw a Publix there was slowly under construction, other areas just laid out.

From what we've heard that it should be open by the end of the year.

His videos are awesome!

All day everyday for a full week now. Just the painters then the the trim to be completed, so one of the things that keeps me entertained is this!
What happened to your new home that required warranty work?

I'll play along - but I've provided this rant on several threads over the past year. First off, no complaints about the lack of any of the bridges or even the shopping center. We make out just fine without any of it. My concern is only with the lack of transparency with the lack of progress - no acknowledgement that clearly stated due dates were missed and no reasons given as to why. I have a map, still, that clearly shows the Water Lily bridge being open by January of 2020 and Magnolia Plaza being open in the Fall of 2019. Both are being worked on now, but neither are complete. "Stuff" happens, but own up to it. In the latter part of last year, when it was clear the bridge would never be done by January, a VMail was released that mentioned the bridge would probably be April/May, however nothing was mentioned about that being different from the original date. The problem with the lack of transparency is that it fuels the rumor mill, and I've heard some ridiculous rumors as a result - such as the one that was going around that the bridge, which has already been constructed on the side of the turnpike, was not going to be long enough because the turnpike was going to be widened.

All that said, I don't sweat over it or focus on it - I still enjoy every day here. When connectivity happens, I'll be one of the first to take advantage of it. Until then, my vehicles will always take me where I want to go.

Don't think the Developer is trying to deceive or owes us a detailed look into their planning. It is their business. In addition, when the connectivity was originally discussed it was a different world. Based on his plans resources may have been adjusted, since he continues to pay contractors he may have moved dollars, permitting issues local and State....who knows and really, who cares. If being able to drive a golf cart over the turnpike and 44 is what consumes you, get ready, there will be more coming.

You are absolutely right! This topic has been tossed around and around. It is what it is!
