Builders are not in the business to build a development to suit a few people as you can see this is a popular place. So if you don't agree with the build and were under the impression the world revolves around you then move. Also about the person identifying the unskilled golfers. This is not the PGA and you are not in charge. There are people who don't know how to play but have a right to be there as much as you do. Retire take time to laugh with those around. I wish everyone the best.

I assume you mean south of 44. We live south of 466A and bunches of us visit Sumter and some of us visit SS. In fact Brownwood will be considered the center of The Villages. In about 10 years Sumter will be the Historic Side lol

You do realize that South of 44 is right across the road form North of 44, I don't see what the problem is.

And, please don’t tell me that snowbirds help fund my lifestyle. I’d rather pay more than deal with the short-term influx that prevents me from playing golf or forces me to wait an hour to get a table at a restaurant. I really don’t want to eat at dinner 4:30.

First you want snowbirds to stay, then you don’t want them Because you can’t eat dinner or play golf. Championship has been wide open for couple years. Plenty of playing times year round.

Little dew you know................we go to Brownwood 60% of the time, Sumter 30% and SS 10% for music and entertainment.



And if you look out your front window, I'm in your front yard right now.

It's apparent your didn't understand what I said. I'll reiterate.

I do want them to stay. That way they would no longer be snowbirds, but full-time residents. The infrastructure would be built up to handle the then-larger, full-time population. This place would be just like any other suburb where you only have to wait long for a restaurant on Friday and Saturday evenings. So, please everyone, stay here year round. I love it here!

Uh, to my snowbird friends - Please don't listen to that.

Will it be crowded year round from now on? I'm curious how many people have said enough and are moving out elsewhere. Seems like its all about greed.

We visit a new place and buy the fantasy and hope we are right. Obviously for many, even though we tend to not admit it was a wrong choice when it is, it is what we hoped. Not for everyone though. Make a list. I like this, dislike that. It’s your life. If you are not happy those around you won’t be either. Threads like this can cloud the issue. They are voices in the wind talking from where they are not who you are...

The fifth town square will be south of CR470, do you what to know where?

Ok, I'll bite

It’s seems to me a large amount of the complainers must have lived in an alternate universe from many of us , everything seemed 5 minutes away from them , every restaurant had no waiting time , hmmm the doctor would see them now . I travel all over villages and 15 , 20 minute ride to where I want to go even at the most crowded times isn’t bumper to bumper , you have so many restaurants here to eat in , maybe you have to wait but so what are you in a hurry , relax have a cocktail and be glad that your not living somewhere that a 10 minute walk to becomes a 40 minute ride if you have to take car

When we bought a home here in 2009, we were shown homes north of 466A and were told the building stops here. Look at it now!

They are starting to build some further down but it will take awhile. When we moved here in 2010 they told us the Villages would end at 466A and you see how that went.

Yeah, maybe they can cloud the issue for young'uns, but not for us old timers.

We have made a lot of decisions in our lives and we know what we like and don't like. Just like this Iris Dement song sung by 10,000 Maniacs and Natalie Merchant.
