Since I enjoy swimming (water is a great conductor of electricity) and golfing (being in an open area with a bag of lightning rods), the lightning can frequently put a damper on things. Plus, the Villages is a ghost town in the summer compared to the winter. Cheap golf and no crowds are very easy to get used to.
Is there a shortage of AC and pools up north?!

You’re kind of proving the point with ‘TV is a ghost town in the summer’ ....where do you think all your neighbors retreated to? You’re clearly in the minority. It’s been stated by many posters across many threads that they no longer own homes up north so trying to convince yourself that a FL summer isn’t that bad kind of rings hollow
