Indeed!

Want to know just how much the negativity (media, word-of-mouth), is slowing development in TV? Well, we have some friends up north who want to come down for a week on the Lifestyle program. I recall when we did that, maybe seven years ago now. We called at the end of January and had no problem arranging a place in early March. Now? We called on Thursday last and got our answer.

May! And the person who makes those arrangements for The Villages indicated that "they fill up FAST".

There are and will always be those whose greatest joy in life is casting aspersions. But The Villages isn't the largest retirement community on the planet and growing explosively, because of the negatives.
