Doesn't the developer own all the commercial property in TV?

Not necessarily! Around the parimiters of the Villages I doubt that the developer ownes all the properties. Even within, if you check the ownership on the assessors websites of commercial lots, the ownership of several are other than the developer or are the holdings of the developer that are difficult to identify.

Default What does the Villages need?

I vote for a Cheesecake Factory or I'll go along with a bakery. Love those sweets! (I don't even live here yet!)

Need someone else for the sprinkler system and another for home watch, and another for mulch. TOO MANY DIFFERENT PROVIDERS. Now I know that I will never find one to do it all, but if I could get it down to just 3 I would be happy. Everyone wants to do just one thing. If a service consolidated all outside maintenance they would put everyone else out of business. Even if they only did most of it and subbed the rest to someone else.

But they would have to mow the lawn, fertilize the lawn, weed the beds, trim the shrubs, fertilize the shrubs, spray the shrubs and lawn for bugs, mulch the beds, inspect the home while they are there, and fix and repair the sprinkler systems. Then just sub termite protection to someone and your done.
Stellar does ALL of this and does it extremely well and with a smile on their faces.

Default "Beach" with Wave Machine

Before I elaborate, yes, "Trader Joe's" Love that place, we are from VA and shopped TJ weekly.
Back to that man made beach with wave machine. If such a venue were constructed close to TV, (but not inside the buble) it would provide an easy alternative to driving all the way to Orlando, and be a draw for people of all ages. While there already is the huge venue in Orlando, a wave park more modest in size/scope would provide another dimenson to TV without actually being "in" TV. For those of us who no longer drive a car, the finishing touch to the park would be a shuttle service...to and from tV. I like to think big. LOL>
