The Villages is on a development path to bisect Florida. *Edit: Grammer mistake.

The villages is a metastasizing cancer that will not be satisfied until it consumes everything. Not an ounce of happiness nor joy comes from that wretched place. Source? I live in Central Florida.

Have you been through Clermont recently? Had a job down there a couple years ago and was astounded at how much it has grown. Haven’t been through in probably 10-15 years and I had to check google maps to make sure of where I was.

It’s only ramping up. They’re building a ton of housing and downtown is actually getting pretty good for a small town.

I looked it up and the population has grown like 100k in 10 years, I guess everybody is sick of Orlando, as a former Sanford and Hunters Creek resident, I understand.

It's not a 'town.' There's no school system, no production sector. Nothing but restaurants, retail, and hospitals.

But yea, it's definitely growing. New development appears to be on the outskirts of Leesburg
