I always wonder if it it is those who don't live here and wish they do, or those who are building other developments closeby. Or just folks who are envious of the Morses enormous success. But this kind of talk and negative talk about this wonderful place happens here, and has happened here and will happen here while The Villages continues to be head and shoulders above any similar entity in this whole country.
You may be right. Too often on forums like this and others, posters talk about the negativity and envy etc. It’s because it’s the way people feel whether we agree or not....neatly packaged and presented in one place. Do you not agree in past generations, pre internet, that this type of ‘negativity’ was confined to social clubs, fraternal organizations, Dunkin Donuts, bars etc....and still does? It’s human nature. There was a comedian who passed recently, Greg Giraldo, who had a bit about people that say their town or city is the best in the country. Unless you’ve visited every corner and crevice of this great country, how can you make that distinction. TV is a special place and I don’t see it as exclusive. It represents a decent demographic and varying income levels. If someone is envious, welcome aboard.....and if not, best wishes moving forward
