I agree, it's not the land of sunshine and lollipops, and there is no guarantee that you will find The Villages a magical place to live.
If you bring problems to TV with you, they will still be problems here.
Most residents adore The Villages. We do - it's an amazing place to live.
A small percentage aren't happy here for a myriad of reasons. TV doesn't suit everyone.
I'd guess that most retirees move to Florida to get away from snow, ice and inclement weather.
However, many retirees move to Texas for the same reason, and I bet there are some exciting retirement communities there.
So be careful of why you're moving, what you're leaving behind, and what you hope to achieve by moving to Florida.
