I expect it had more to do with the person than to do with being a native Floridian.
Excellent point. For some reason certain individuals ignorantly repeat these ridiculous falsehoods. My own grandsons brought this up to me one time and I informed them that these are ridiculous falsehoods perpetrated by some young people who suffer from ageism and dislike to see older people enjoying life. When they came to visit they saw the true Villages. 98% of the residents are lights out by 9:30 PM. Hardly a soul is out past 10PM.
