You will learn quickly that a growing majority of people who populate these blogs are suffering from CDS, Covid Derangement Syndrome. There are those, many of a certain age, who have vowed to stay in their homes until a proven vaccine comes about and a high percentage of people have taken it. They are quick to criticize the other portion, who have decided enough is enough, and let's get back to living and loving life, which means socialization and, dare I say it, having FUN.
You've also, interestingly, run into a different cross section of Villagers who have relocated here that now feel that now that they are here, there's no need for anymore people to come. After all, they didnt ruin it for their predecessors, but YOU may ruin it for them.
The good news is, if you choose to come down for a visit, or to buy, and whether you will be a snowbird or a full timer, you will probably not meet ANY of these people, since they will be holed up in their house. Who you will meet, are people that will welcome you, tell you why they came here, and what a great place it is to live. They might even buy you a beer and talk your ear off about all the things that they like about this place.
So yes, please come down - the Villages is a melting pot of past experiences and cultures, of interests and dis-interests. Feel free to PM if you have any questions.
Safe and happy travels
