I wish The Villages was in a different state. But it's here, and the community itself is terrific, there's tons of things to do, the development is aesthetically pleasing, and the monthly amenity fee is incredibly reasonable.
So am I happy to be in The Villages? Mostly, yes.

What about Florida don't you like? No income taxes? Low property taxes? The weather? Seriously the only thing I can think of is Hurricanes and the distance to drive to the rest of the country? I am missing something here. Can you expand on that?
As far as infrastructure, seems a LOT better to me than most places, especially Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and New Jersey (the only states I have lived in). Roads are smooth and wide, The water for irrigation is reclaimed, all electric and cable is underground and bulletproof, Energy is cheap, The place is always clean, and the drainage is so good we can get 15" of rain in 24 hours and nobody gets flooded (except the historic section). I am really missing something....
