The slogan Make America Great Again is an example of that, isn't it? Now, I don't agree with that slogan (which has been used in politics for decades) because I think America has always been great ,even though as time passes, certain aspects of our day to day existence needs to be adjusted to the betterment of all of our citizens.

Good points.
My take is one that is probably not all that common: that there is no such thing as a good decision or a bad decision. It is what you do AFTER the decision is made that determines whether it was good or bad.
That seems to be especially true for people moving to The Villages. The lifestyle here is probably substantially different from that of where most of us hail from. There's a LOT to do and see here, but most of it takes some adjusting. If you move here from, say, Aroostook County, Maine, and enjoy solitude but want a place that offers far more than just watching slapping mosquitoes, shoveling snow and watching moose go by--well, solitude is NOT what The Villages offers. Florida is crowded and you're going to see a lot more cars and golf carts on your walk to the mailbox than you will probably in a day back in Aroostook County.
You can choose to be miserable. Or you can adjust. But the choice is yours.
