It's unlikely (very) they will get access to TV via a golf cart. Of course, they will come by car to Brownwood and other squares and strip malls that are open to the public in TV.

The more I think about it, this will probably not be a "golf cart" type community, but I could be wrong since the ad mentioned 2 car garage. There does not appear to be any room for a tunnel or bridge across 466a, so the only other alternative would be an at grade crossing, and we should be able to comment on that to Sumter County. Can you imagine GC going across 466a???
Your point about more traffic is quite valid, especially at the squares.

Maybe the sale of booze at the squares (not the surrounding businesses) would be limited to residents (TV IDs required)....who knows.

I think LSVs will still have access to TV via the existing shopping area. Licensed LSVs are allowed to cross highways at proper intersections. Unless Pinellas Pl street has a speed limit over 35 mph, an LSV will be able to drive on it. I think Pinellas Pl has a golf cart path on it, so that would mean golf carts would be able to use it to access TV if they can get across 466A somehow. Maybe a "special" golf cart crossing into the existing shopping area.

I would be extremely surprised if there ends up being golf cart access for the new planned development. And that would include any "easy" crossing point. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Nobody in that development has any right to use our cart trails...I am sure the Morrises will block off any cart entrance to our paths as he should....

That's not part of the villages so they will have access to nothing by cart....

Agree. Did someone say this would be a golf cart community?

I think this is a bust. They haven't built Trailwinds yet. There are plenty of places in the villages for rent year round for less than 3600 a month. How many people do you know that would pay that kind of money to live in the middle of Florida. I don't know anybody.

During high season no worries, but who is going to pay $3600 a month for July

Take a look at the WholeLife Development website wholelife-companies
There is no evidence that they have ever built anything.

Also, their business model premise is Baby Boomers have lived to see their largest asset lose much of its peak value. That may have been true 4 years ago, certainly not true today. I also think most intelligent people realize that when the government intervenes monetarily to help out a certain class of individuals things such as the Great Recession and housing crash will occur. The housing crash was an anomaly. Owning has always and will always be better then then renting. If this development gets ground footing they will not get what they think they'll get for rents.

The villages developed from someones ideas. Did he have previous projects? I like the wellness concept of wholesome community living.

I agree they don't have a right to the MMPs. But, the roads, except for courtyard villa neighborhoods, are public. Anyone can access virtually any village in TV. So once a golf cart gets onto Pinellas Pl, it looks like it will be able to access virtually all of TV MMPs.
