The allusion to an adult Disney World is indeed damaging because the hyperbolic marketing here plays off that fantasy. Its deceptive and dishonest and the Daily Sun and VHA are complicit in this charade which is unnecessary because it causes expectation that are too high to meet
I don't want to live in someone's vacation destination. I paid top dollar to be settled in a retirement community and all this fake pollyannish publicity distracts from the real issues that face this community. It is unnecessary because there are many better ways to promote this community preserve its character and properly manage its budget

Your views on this are identical to mine. At times I find this constant barrage of pollyanish publicity having a negative effect on me.
