Life is too short.

No thanks I might get you as a neighbor.

I'd be more then happy to give you a hand in the project. Just let me know when you want to start.

Then we'd be just like Stonecrest and we would rather have public access areas by automobile.

Do you have any community support in Stonecrest, Steve, whereby the two or four people who can't drive and probably shouldn't be driving, could receive transportation help from neighbors or caring members of the community? Why would you want these very few people with driving difficulties to cross 27/441 in a golf cart?

Perhaps you'll manage to get major highway access to the hospital but if you think the Morse family will not take the steps necessary to limit access only to those medical buildings, think again. Their investment and future income depend on structure of The Villages as it stands.

Isn't it amazing, Steve, that Spruce Creek South manages their doctor and medical appointments without this access? They certainly must have residents with driving issues; they just didn't plan on riding the back of their neighboring community in which they didn't want to buy.

If there are people that want legal access to cross 441/27 on public property then they have every right o do so. If the people that will be crossing there go on to The Villages Cart Paths then the Villagers have the right to secure those paths. How people mange their life is up to them. I'm not going to make those decisions for them. The bottom line is a Golf Cart Crossing will either be granted by the state, since it is crossing a state highway, or not and that will be the end of this nonsense. There is no Villager property involved in this crossing request.

It is nonsense, I agree, that Stonecrest demands special services that no one else in the surrounding communities are receiving. When as a community, Stonecrest could step up to the plate and offer transportation services by bus or van.

Steve, really, it's not nonsense.
TOTV is just a friendly Chat Room where topics are discussed, opinions are voiced, and occasionally people get to jump in the mud and wrestle a bit.

I respect your opinion but quite frankly it a matter of law, I'd get over it otherwise it will effect your health. No special treatment being given to anyone.

That's fine but personal attacks don't belong here and innuendos about people get the short hairs up.

This whole situation is quite simple in my opinion. I pay $145 per month to use the Village amenities including the multiple modal paths. These paths could become very crowded if we open them up to people who live outside the Villages. I consider my Village home an investment. People who don't own a home in the Villages don't have the same investment as we do. We feel differently. If you have been renting for years and posting on TOTV you don't really have the same vested interest as we do. You can be philosophical and get in to debates on letting everyone use our facilities, etc. and it really doesn't impact you. You don't live here. Or if you live in Stonecrest you don't give a hoot about the Villagers. You just want access to those golf paths even though you don't live here. The developer had better not set any precedent here of allowing our multiple modal paths to be opened up. And to think Stonecresters have their own gate where they don't allow any outsiders in. That is too much!

Probably no need for legal crossing of 27/441. Just do it illegally like numerous Villages residents do it every day. Please don't suggest that you have never seen it as it goes on all the time.

No one has request that anyone other then the Villagers have access to your Cart Paths. Like I indicated before No Villager Property or Cart paths are involved. Public Road, State Highway, it doesn't get any simpler then that.

I'm sorry to see that this thread is totally out of control.....steve you must understand that despite your claims otherwise all we have seen are people on your side of the wall picketing, etc. and this is what the media always trots out. If the request were so simple and state related then why did somebody on 'your' side call the media????
