The trade off of an occasional flamingo vs. the perfection that they strive for in the new area is difficult to accept at first. I get it now. The block we live on is full of newbie’s. It’s a rush to get everything done, palm trees installed etc.
The Historic Section is full of many more beautiful well cared for wonderfully decorated homes inside and out filled with people who have been here since the beginning. Stories about Mr. Schwartz are plentiful and the sense of neighborliness is unmatched anywhere else. Don’t get me wrong, I love the new section but when I look in the rear view mirror I see what a great start the original section gave to us. I wasn’t sure I would like Florida or The Villages so starting at about 100,000 7 years ago felt good to me. This entire operation is just the best. I didn’t drink any Koolaid. I put as little money at risk as possible. I put 25K into that 1300 Sq Ft Love Shack. I enjoyed every day over there and will ferociously defend the people and place we left behind.
I don’t understand for the life of me how people feel that they have the rite to criticize where another person lives. To me such behavior is worse than a Flamingo.
