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.

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.

When I was down for two weeks in October, I walked into pretty much every single restaurant in Brownwood (without a reservation) and was seated immediately...

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...
