graciegirl,
like you, I don't mind growth, seems growth and change are inevitable and may as well embrace it instead of fighting it - and make the best of it

[downeaster]

Growth here in The Villages is carefully planned, controlled and executed. This includes appearance, drainage, facilities, traffic, etc.
Most growth is the result of land sold to numerous developers and it is developed with no foresight. The results are not pretty.
It has been said before but it is worth repeating. We may not have a perfect situation here but there is none better.

Thanks Kayaker...

One statistic they quoted surprised me:

Adults with bachelor's degrees: 11.4 percent

I would have thought the figure would be much higher.

That seems close to what it would be according to these statistics? http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/educL...?locIndex=8939

2000 Census for all of Sumter County showed Bachelors or higher of 12.2%

TV Population in 2000 was 25,000

In Dec 07 it surpassed 70,000

So, my assumption is that the % of TV residents with Bachelors or Higher today is much more than quoted in the article. No proof, just assumption. Guess they were using 2000 Census figures.
