One of the comments from that article made me laugh:
I am what is referred to as a "senior citizen"; in any event, 2 of our married contemporaries spent a week at "The Villages" and returned home only to describe what sounded eerily like an episode from the old Patrick McGoohan series, "The Prisoner". They described an ersatz, fabricated, euphoric theme-park that permeated every waking (& sleeping) moment of its inhabitants. A care-free, idyllic creation that vehemently eschewed any and all incursions or challenges to its ethos from the "outside" world.
Needless to say, when they returned home, they were relieved to have escaped.
I live here so don't agree, but opposing viewpoints are always welcome!
