I don't understand the need for some to denigrate new areas in The Villages.

I do believe that being anonymous allows us to hide our agendas sometimes. I also think that some people do not jump to conclusions without facts, they leap and catapult to conclusions. I think it is sometimes jealousy of those who do not live here and sometimes it is because some people enjoy being irritating and like controversy. I remember when we were building our home just off 466 and several said they wouldn't want to live there because of the noise of 466.

I think that people lose sight or forget or don't care that people moving into homes in The Villages are really quite adventurous, moving from far away and beginning their lives in a new land and a new sort of culture. They have left old friendships and familiar ways behind them to start a new and hopeful life in a new place. They are excited and happy to do that. Their home is their castle, for most of us the biggest purchase of our lives, they are eager to be happy and really deserve to be happy.

I do not think that most of the negative comments would be made in polite conversation and are mean spirited.

Again, I would like to point out that I have lived here for more than a decade, I don't know the Morses, although I would love to thank them personally and do not, nor never have sold houses other than our own, once.
