I know many who believe it is a ridiculous way to spend the last years of your life. They would rather travel and spend time with their loved ones.
The press we receive outside of the Villages is hysterical. Radio DJs can't help but poke fun at us. I was recently in Chicago. Every morning, one DJ would read our news. DUI's, fist fights, brawls, drugs, and other shenanigans. Even I couldn't resist laughing.This could be causing newbies to stay away.

If you’re referring to that sensationalist Villages “news” site, the majority of crime articles they post occur outside of the confines of The Villages proper, such as Summerfield, Lady Lake, wildwood apartments, Oxford, and the truck stop area of 44 and I-75. They have an agenda to attempt to paint as “negative’ picture as possible of life in The Villages.
