‘How long we are in each stage varies of course, but here's the take-home point:The Villages isn't designed, built, nor marketed as a place appropriate for all stages. If you need public transportation, it's not for you. Rather than constantly be unhappy about the fact that it doesn't have that, you should find a place more suitable. Those places exist. It is not here.’

People who buy homes in TV at least in the past did not buy a part-time home. They meant to be ‘frogs’ to live and die here as my uncle and aunt did. Are you saying that people who want to grow old here should not buy a house in TV? Or they should include another move in late stage of their lives when they can’t drive but are otherwise able and do not need assisted living? You realize how difficult that is for people to say in their 80’s to leave their friends who may now have become their “family” for a new city or place where they may know no one? Would it really be that impossible to consider their needs in future developments in TV?

Or, are you suggesting that TV really is nothing but a theme park, come and “rent” ie buy a house here, play while you can, then get the hell out? I can guarantee you that that was not the original vision of The Villages when it was established.
