It is only a "class divide" if that is how you look at things and how you value things.
Excellent post. I’ve often thought asking someone where they are from, what Village they live in and maybe what they did before retirement was just kind of “getting to know you better” questions. Anyone offended by this to me either has an inferiority complex, just unfriendly or “mine your own business” type of folks. Which by the way - is okay too. We have found the overwhelming majority of Villagers, interesting, intelligent, and friendly. OP, good luck in your efforts to due diligence prior to purchasing in The Villages.
