I just do the ones I care about:

Summers are hot, but the humidity is not bad; there is a line just north of Orlando where the humidity level drops off from the oppressive humidity of Orlando - my take: FICTION

During the summer plan on taking a shower or at least changing clothes after a round of golf - championship or executive. You will be wet from the sweat. As far as non-strenous activity - not a problem.

it doesn't matter where you live relative to the town squares since most people never visit them; most social activities revolve around the community centers - my take: I tend to doubt it; that town squares are where you want to be for most restaurants, movies, etc.

I do the squares for lunch and some shopping. I don't go to the square as much as I used to for the afternoon bands only because I found other things to do. I still make an occasional visit in the evening. I live in the NW corner and it takes about 30 minutes by cart to get to either square.

all houses (both vinyl and CBS) need their siding washed twice a year or they start to look dirty - my take: this seems excessive

I schedule a cleaning twice a year. It is only $50 and it does make the house look nicer. When it is time to schedule a cleaning. I do a check and if it seems dirty I make the call. Otherwise I put it off for a month and check again. Some vinyl houses tend to get algae on them and might need to be checked more often. I think a sprinkler adjustment would fix the problem (keep the water off of the vinyl siding).

All-electric houses are not that costly to operate since the heat pumps are amazingly efficient. My take: I would like to believe this, but I can't imaging electricity being competitive with gas for heat, hot water and the dryer.

I have gas and electric. On an annual basis, I spend $1800 for electricity and $420 for gas. Gas for hot water, cooking, dryer and heat).
