"...there is no government structure at Sun City Center. The community runs solely on volunteers. A membership association comprised of resident volunteers oversee all community amenities."
That sounds like a recipe for disaster. TVs CDDs at least have power to fund themselves with the amenity fees.
Understanding the inner workings of the local government & how it impacts a community is not something you'd learn from a short visit.
