I retired to Ocala from south Florida and am reconsidering my decision

“In the last four years I have lived here, it is clear that the primary purpose of this county has been the sales, sales, and sales. The construction of new homes is overwhelming and homeless nature, such as bears and wild cats, are now roaming through our yards. It appears that there was no thought or planning to prepare for the influx of new homes into this community. I left south Florida to live in a less stressful place and now I feel I am right back there again. I am definitely reconsidering my decision to stay here. It’s very sad, as I thought this would be my retirement home” – An Ocala resident shares her opinion.
