I disagree. Perhaps it where you come from as to how you perceive a friendly town should be.
To me, The Villages is extremely friendly and caring to each other including newcomers and strangers.
I moved here from the Washington DC area and you would not talk to strangers there or ask if they needed assistance.
We had a neighbor up there who was held up at gunpoint and pistol whipped when he did not have enough money to satisfy his attackers. In the six years I have been here, there has not been one instance of that kind of violence that I know about.
The "me" attitude happens at times but there are far, far more acts of kindness that outweigh the attitude of "me".
