Default Villages Annual Survey

This is the 8th year I have received The Villages Annual Survey. Out of curiosity, I went through it. What a joke and waste of time. For all 8 years, they have asked the residents what they would like to see here from a shopping and restaurant standpoint. I know residents have requested Costco, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's,...the list goes on and on, yet nothing has happened. Maybe I'm crazy but I think if Gary Morse wanted it to happen for the residents, it would happen. My comment on the survey was to "look at the last 7 surveys I completed," if they not understand what I would like to see here after 7 survey responses, they never will!
Okay, I'm through venting; feel better now!

I got as far as question 103, answering about 2/3 of them. A marketing survey that in now way improves our community, in my opinion.

BigO, just curious, are you able to do all of your shopping in the area or online? I'm tired of long drives to get quality and what I want. Tell me your secret...

Just wondering, were you able to get quality and what you wanted within 10 miles of where you previously lived?

I don't want much. Just give me food, drink, and golf clubs.

Boogie Shooter, within ten what? If you refer to miles, yes I did; in fact most everything was with in 3-5 miles. Do I want to move back? No, I would like to have great shopping here instead of Orlando. Maybe the difference is male vs. female...yes, we like to shop and we like quality.

The developer cannot make a business build here in The Villages, if the 55 and over demographic doesn't fit for their business they are not coming here. Does the survey work, just look at how The Villages has improved their development south or 466, suggestions on the survey probably had something to do with that. for example the cart paths were made wider right from the start south of 466. The addition of paddle tennis courts might be another example. It can't hurt to make suggestions.

We now buy a lot through Amazon, and find Amazon Prime to be a significant money saver, and enjoy 2 day delivery and free movies.

Just in case you do here is the link.

I liked it. If I'm asked for feedback, I'll take the time, in the chance it might improve something, or to give positive reinforcement. Otherwise I could just go on Talk of TV and vent.
