Housing for younger people is needed. There are thousands under 55 working in the area. They need a place to live.

Sorry, I hadn't realized that all 8,500 would be camping in your back yard, or building shacks there.

I wonder what those who lived here in the 1980's think of 120,000+ old folks moving in to their neighborhood?

And what about the Native Americans who were the original residents? I'm sure they're delighted that we're all here enjoying ourselves.

Oh, and Merry Christmas.

I have mixed feelings about this, but one thing is for certain. Further diluting the already horrible and overstressed health care system in the area is a very real concern/problem.

You can joke about this all you want, the homes are low, middle income mobile homes price point high of 170k.

Not sure what type of good natured, educated doctors and health care workers that’s going to bring in and yes I’ll have a merry Christmas while I’m sitting in your chair at the square.

The squares are and have always been open to the public.

This post seems snobbish as “not in my backyard”. But it ain’t your property...

[SaveTownofLadyLake]

One’s passion to save historical trees and ensuring a safe comfortable quality of life tends to make for an overwhelming amount of passion, especially when it’s in one’s backyard.

Cigarette smoke, tree preservation, traffic congestion, road construction for years on end and good quality medical care in a timely manner are pretty significant things to be worried about to say the least

My intentions are not to be snarky I’m just I guess letting my emotions get involved a bit and I apologize for that

Sounds like a case of “I got mine, close the gate after me “ mentality

I suppose if someone is truly committed to preserving a rural feel you would campaign to tear down the Villages since it also "ruined" the rural feel for the people living here before it was built. Those previous residents "rights" didn't matter then either.

that 9pm only applies to this 55+ community.... no idea why but it does

Lots of federal, state and local agendas creating these huge developments to fill up local lands. Low cost or free federal $$ a lot of the time going to municipalities under the guides of "affordable housing" $15/hr employees still can't afford.

Wildwood, Lady Lake the list goes on. Local elections have consequences. 466A development for "affordable housing" by DR Horton, with stake holders most famous, soros. Maybe we'll see soros in a decorated golf cart in T V. D R Horton cares about Villagers having "workers" to care for us for sure.

Lady Lake, who needs farm land?

It's funny how Villagers keep thinking all the multi-unit mass developments are for workers in our stores and McD's when these thousands of units are sitting empty. This area is not seeing mass development of stores needing thousands of workers, is it?? Did I miss something?

Where are the new hospitals?? Now that would be a good local investment.

What is happening everywhere are agendas benefiting developers. Develop and get paid federal $$ at a local level to build. T V is not seeing mass flocks of workers arriving to fill the thousands of empty units all up and down 301, 466A, Powell Rd. Lady Lake's dream team commissioners now seeing the $$ probably.

Yes, showing up to be heard is important if one cares about the landscape of their town. FYI there are numerous state grants available from the government to assist first time home buyers. Not well known about for our Village workers. Why rent when one can own?

Just need economic positivity to occur to make the current homes that have been built already in Lady Lake and Wildwood to become affordable via lower interest rates maybe?

My hope is that Lady Lake engages engineers who will make traffic accessing any new development flow smoothly. There are noticeable access problems along 466 and it would be to the advantage of anyone traveling in the area to not duplicate those mistakes. Being proactive is the best course. Your best course of action would be to ensure your commissioners have great planners and follow their advice.

If you bought a house in central Florida and didn’t think the area would build up, you made a big mistake. The same was true 20+ years ago.
