I have lots of friends and relatives in the Villages. It started out as a rather large community of 70-80 thousand. It's grown like mad and encompasses several counties. Today it's over 150,000 and about 80-90 square miles.It's one of the fastest growing places in the US. Originally, it was primarily a Rebpublican enclave. Over time buyers from the north and the south have made it still overwhelmingly Republican but with some commies. It's about 68/30% at this point.

Fortunatley, for us Republican retirement communities in Florida follow a similar pattern.

They help to counter the Dade/Broward, Orlando cabal which have a lot of commie/dems in the population.

it's huge and growing fast:

There is another development proposed in Sarasota County that if approved and built will rival The Villages. It is the Palmer Ranch East development. A 2,351 acre development that will encompass 5,700 homes and a major town center if approved. The total approved capacity is for over 7,000 homes. It was initially approved in December 2025 and is up for final approval in Sarasota County this year.
