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!

Maybe it’s me butI agree with you but presently we live I a subdivision in around Denton & Justin, TX. & the homes here are throw away homes in about 5 to 10 yrs. Things get replaced starting from a yr. after you buy a home. We’re from Ohio & we built 9 homes there & we lived in all of them from 10 months to 17 yrs. & I can honestly say we never had to do a thing to any of them. The biggest issue we ever had was the builder forgot to take out plugs from vent pipes on top of house that was after the house was 7 yrs. old. Told builder about it & he was there within an hour, & never charged us a cent & he was very apologetic about it. Yes, it’s a shame that they build & charge you hundreds of thousands of dollars & then it’s your baby to fix & repair!
