Are you seriously suggesting that all of TV except the NE corner has either noise or odor????
Well, here is my backyard view--no noise, no odor, and I don't see any 200 foot towers.
Don't you think there might have been the teeniest teeny weeny bit of hyperbole in your post?

Sure, until they run a railroad spur thru, put up a dozen 200 foot towers and surround it with a landfill

The Villages is a great place to live---north, south, east or west.
Has it been concluded the odor is from retention ponds? Also, doesn’t stagnant water have a different smell than sewage?

No it has not been concluded, and yes stagnant water has a different odor than sewage/ decomposing garbage.

There are retention ponds all over the place. There is not landfill odor all over the place.

Sorry, it was me.
I was in a pick-up match on Bonifay with 3 women and one of them went into her purse.
