Bonny I fully agree with you. We have been vacationing in the villages since 2010 and now are full time residents. We are from NYC where no one speaks to anyone and the pace is so fast that people pass you in a flash. My first recollection of TV was my husband and I driving around and residents were waving at us. My husband said "I think something is wrong with our car. All these people are waving us down". lol... duhhh We soon found out they were just being who they are "friendly and social".
All I have to say is... keep on waving... show renters who may soon could possibly be soon to be residents all TV has to offer. They will soon understand, as we soon did, that TV is the greatest place to live where your neighbors will become some of your most trusted and wonderful friends you could ever imagine.
