The Villages is in the city of Wildwood, Lady Lake and Fruitland Park while other areas are in unincorporated Sumpter, Lake and Marion Counties. I suggest you pay attention.

Nice sarcasm Sheldon... Now people are going into panic mode of how to get upgrades on their golf carts...

No worries, all the necessary parts for the upgrades will be available at the new Costco.

Maybe you exaggerate just a little, but personally I like the idea that growth in The Villages is helping our neighboring towns like Wildwood and Coleman, which have probably not changed much since my family would drive thru them in 1950 as we travelled from Eastern Ohio and caught US 301 in South Carolina as we headed down to Fort Myers.

I can believe the bunny ears but not the mask. 😂

It's pushed out lower-income residents because they can't afford the revitalized properties. It's called gentrification and it creates massive displacement (aka homelessness, here and elsewhere).

More minimum wage jobs doesn't help if you're in a family of 4 living in an apartment building and the rent just went up 50% because the Villages added some flowers to the grassy area across the street.

Do you think your exactly worded posted opinion gets more weight when you repeat it on separate threads?

Its just routine language. Look at page 11 or use the search function on your computer and type in golf carts to find it in the agenda packet.

Have you ever tried that? "the other news source" is easier to type than something that will be automatically deleted anyway.
