I am pretty sure that you are trying to make a point that we are too big, but I don't understand this post.

Speaking of commercial establishments........COSTCO PLEASE!

I go through the Mallory gate and Odell gate at Morse Blvd. regularly. My gate pass opens both of those gates without having to open my window. I just pull close enough to the pad and put my gate pass up to the window. Both gates open every time without having to roll down the window.

Are there lighted pools north of 466? If not, why not include those folks for being able to use the pools after dark?

Those lighted pools are for everyone who lives here. You just need to drive to them if you want to swim at night.

We now have a PAC. That was a frequent request every year on the survey.

Which pools are lit at night, north of 466? Wonder why none of the pools south of 466 aren't lit? Swimming at night, especially in the summer, has to be one of the luxuries in life (if you're a swimmer).

4 pools in the historic district are open at night. There is no good reason at least 4 south of 466 couldn't be lit also. It would not be a "freebie" and a much needed amenity for those less heat tolerant or for those that have o avoid the sun. Grace it is a twenty minute drive for those of us in the south and that's by car.

They may be using the full time 2012 population, but no idea if the same is true of the comparables as well

The male/female ratio seems more interesting

Crowded is as crowded does any way you cut it. If this place get any larger there going to have to replace gate attendants with traffic cops at Bailey Trail, Lake Sumter and Buena Vista, etc

At least two of the priority pools north of 466 are lighted sufficiently to stay open after dark. I think they stay open until 9 and 10PM. If you haven't visited the country club(?) pool in the historic district, it's worth a trip. Big waterfall, and a spa under the waterfall.

Anyone for more helipads? Lighted, of course.

I love this piece of info. Also the gate at Belvedere does that when you come in from off of 466 near CVS.

My friend lives in a retirement community and they have a Sunpass type of screening device on their windshield that opens her gates. It's very easy and convenient for her. I would like that here too. Good idea.
