There is no traffic here. Try Miami or the cross Bronx expressway, or The 305 in L.A. , then you’ll find out what traffic really is about!

But one needs to ask:

Do you think this year the traffic around central Florida and the villages sucks?

It's getting so bad that if the sun is out, stay home from running your weekly errands.
:shocked:

Perhaps it's because of the ridiculas OVER BUILDING south of 44. I've lived here for 10 years and never saw it like this . It's not just snow bird traffic it's people across 44 don't have the emenities we have here. I live 15 minutes from Brownwood Square. You can't get a parking spot, have to wait AT ALL restaurants, the crowds are huge at the Square, EVERY DAY. I truly hope all this building doesn't ruin our Village culture.

Parking was never a problem (we had to park behind the buildings on the square ONCE...

I just returned home from two weeks at our place and the only difference was having to make a reservation (on occasion). The only time we had parking problems was when we went to the Craft Fair last Saturday. We had to wait 5 minutes (at 10:30 am) at the Flying Biscuit to get a table for breakfast...

I was able to play golf 3-4 X's a week, get on pickleball courts, pretty much do the same things I do when I'm down in the Spring/Summer...
