But there were no comparison on activities with TV. Not even close.
So it comes down to lifestyle. For me. It was the activities. I think my cousin feels the same way.
When we visited all these retirement areas, I never revealed that I was from TV. It was interesting to hear the locals talk about TV. A lot of crazy stories!

I have a friend that lives in the Del Web community off 441/27. He chose there because he felt he got more bang for the buck and felt it was smaller with a lot less traffic. He says they also have a lot of clubs to join. They have there own golf course and in the winter prefers to play outside because the conditions are better and the price is cheaper. In looking at TV he had heard winter conditions were not great, the winter rates were expensive and the need really for a priority membership to him was not worth it. Finally, he says he can come over to TV anytime he wants and enjoy the entertainment on the squares, eat at any of the restaurants he wants, come and watch the parades etc. etc. So I guess it’s a personal choice. Some people like the hustle and bustle of TV, while others prefer a quieter life style, but my friend doesn’t seem to be missing much.
