Living in The Villages is just a bonus!
The Villages is the ONLY reason I agreed to move to Florida. My parents live down here, and that wasn't even enough to get me to want to live in this horrible state. I can always visit them. But now I'm stuck here for awhile. Glad I have the Villages. It would be intolerable, otherwise.

Not fond of Connecticut nor'easters either BTW. But the (humidity + heat waves) in Connecticut was pretty much the same as the (humidity + summer) in Florida, and I can't stand either of them. Humidity + heat = REALLY bad for arthritis. It's not healthy for me to be here, and if I'm going to spend a lot of time inside in air conditioning, I could've just stayed put, or move to a cheaper place in a different state like Kentucky.

No - it's the Villages that attracts me to the Villages. There's nothing about Florida weather that's attractive to me.
