There are always pro's and con's. People are different and have different ideas, feelings, life-styles, taste's, etc. But they have it everywhere they live.
For us, when we visit the first time TV, it was like a dream and we want to make it like the dream came true. Yes, we checked out TV completely, lived for several month there and found the uniformity, the strict rules and we missed some culture events like going to museums, National sites, zoo, etc.
But we know also that it will be impossible to find a place which can fulfill ALL expectations at once people can have. Living before coming to USA at overseas for more than 25 years, then California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Missouri, we found the place "The Villages" and we did find out that WE have to change and adapt a little bit more, OPEN the eyes wide and see the BEAUTY of the place, the WONDERFUL PEOPLE (including all what might be different in each person - which make a person wonderful).
We found the best solution for us (in can change of course when we are getting older), living at two (special for us :Wonderful-) places, The Villages and St. Louis, and we still traveling around the world.
May you find your place you like when you are READY for it.
Yes, some people saying it's a BUBBLE, if you want to you can see it as that, others saying it isn't the REAL world, and my answer to that is:
IT IS THE REAL WORLD LIKE PEOPLE CREATED IT, IT IS THE REAL WORLD YOU WANT TO LIVE IN.
Other places might be dirty, full of crime..... call it 'real', it isn't for me and it isn't the natural world either.
