@Cupcake If I remember correctly the side of the state you are in, I find that area to be much less cognoscenti of the older population, disabled population, and even common conveniences and perks that are found in Southeast FL. Like swimming pools in every community, your county and neighboring counties didn’t do that 30 years ago, not even 15 years ago, which I find shocking. Developers and builders fit the most part did t compete with those perks. Also, when I’m there it feels to me like people came down from states like Michigan, and built the same way. I even saw a lot of fire places! It’s finally starting to change; they are building more like the Florida I expect.
As far as the cart corral, Publix back in the day used to not install them at all. I thought that was odd also when I moved to Florida. Keep in mind a Publix shopper can also ask for an escort to their car to put the groceries in the car, and then that person will return the cart to the store.
I hate when lanes are two narrow in parking lots, I know exactly what you are talking about. I can’t remember which city it was that I lived in that I ran into that all too often. I hate driving my truck because it was so tricky to get out of a parking space.
No sidewalks is very dangerous for people who need a wheelchair. They can attach a flag, or something that is at eye level that warns a driver.
I live in a retirement community now, and we have golf cart paths throughout the city, but in the residential areas sometimes the carts/bicycles/pedestrians are sharing the roads with the cars. You should come up and see where I live sometime, it’s not far from you if you are where I think you are?? That might be fun to meet.
