Op you chose to go to the south once, and think nothing is the TV you chose to live in.
That’s very true, but I do find your post comes off as the normal bashing of the south, that has plagued TOTV, as soon as the developers built south.
Past experience those who don’t get the allure of south of 44 are of an older age bracket.
We moved from LSL area, then built a home in Richmond. I will say we are in the older age bracket here. Many are in their 50s, some still work, but as a whole this is a very different village than any we have lived in.
There are monthly themed parties at the Rec center, always with a waiting list. There are weekly men’s and women’s groups, and one of the largest golf groups in off season, I have ever been affiliated with. This is a village that embraces all things retirement. We go to Sawgrass, and Edna’s, when there is a parking space to be had.
Rarely do we travel north from where we started, to shop, golf, socialize. Reason we moved was SS visit was maybe every 2 months, LSL once a month. Brownwood weekly. It’s a bonus to have meaningful conversations without the ongoing talk of health issues.
Many enjoy the lack of retail nightmare traffic, and have no issue driving 10 minutes. We don’t shop weekly, and Doctor appointments are 6-12 months apart. So south is the new vision, it’s just not for my parents, that are in their 80s.
