Default Indirectly from Elon Musk

Sorry, don't do tunnels. How about one of our SpaceX reusable rockets? Figure on eight minutes and a fare about the same as airport vans and limos...

Good luck with all of that. Hopefully with all the youngsters south of 44 some of those may come true but unless The Villages wants those it will never happen.

So glad I bought up North where everything is at my fingertips and no bond or CCD, and lower taxes. It will be 5+ years before south gets built up. Sorry but time is limited now, no intentions of spending it in a car going to resource stuff.

I want to have fun instead!

Why get prescriptions at cvs or Walgreens? Do you want to pay 10x more for your drugs? 20 years ago, I had a drug that cost me $107 at CVS. I went 4 blocks away to a Walmart and it was $8 for the same drug. Do some checking before buying your drugs. Now I have a prescription plan that I pay 1/3 the price of Walmart on 1 drug I take ($500 off a 3 month supply).

The traffic at the Turnpike/301 exit has increased dramatically since they started construction South of 44. During the day it is challenging to go north on 301 after exiting the turnpike. When there is fog, it is like a game of chicken.

There needs to be access to the turnpike on Warm Springs Avenue. It would save so much time for many on both sides. The challenge would be keeping semis away from the Bradford circle which was poorly designed.

Hooters would provide great employee opportunities for Villagers who want to supplement their Social Security checks.

How about a real delicatessen? Or a real bagel shop that makes fresh bagels

Send mcdonld's meat in for a DNA sample..She if there is any human genetics.
How about healthy organic farms/gardens for farm to table restaurants then you will not need any cvs drug pushers

Get the free app Good RX, type in the name of your medication, and find out what various pharmacies are charging. I don’t need many drugs, but for me Sam’s Club had the best prices and CVS among the highest. Below are a page from their app explaining things and a couple of sample price pages.

That’s why a lot of 50’p and 60 year olds bought south of 44.
