For some it's a matter of perspective. Someone coming from a rural area where the next home is a long way away, this seems crowded, there is too much traffic on the roads, it's hard to get into restaurants, etc. For someone who has lived in a big city, traffic is not a problem, homes are not too close, waiting for a seat in a restaurant is normal, etc. For people from small towns/cities where they knew everyone, this may seem less friendly. For those from the city, there is less expectation of interaction with strangers.

Another facet is how long ago someone moved to TV. I believe that years ago many residents were grateful to find a place where they could enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle in retirement in the Florida sun. (Recent weather notwithstanding!) It seems some later residents want TV to be just what they left, but with better winter weather. When it doesn't fill their needs for culture, fine dining, private golf course conditions, etc., they are not as content.
