You can tell by my last paragraph, I do not understand those who believe the Villages is HEAVEN. Your choice. But, don't call out others for not seeing things the way you do. Every community has room for improvement. Those who discuss wanted improvements are ONLY GIVING THEIR OPINION. There is no need to rake anyone under the coals. Last time I checked, this is an open forum. If you desire to read only what you want to hear, I suggest writing notes to yourself. This way, you will not be disappointed by others who do not see the world or the Villages the same as you.

I think the Villages would be improved if it was somewhere other than Florida. I imagine a Villages in Albuquerque would be amazing. Or nestled on a low plateau of the Smoky Mountains at the SC/TN border somewhere.
As for all my hates, I posted it because someone asked me directly in this thread, after I said that I enjoyed The Villages, but hated Florida. They asked what about Florida did I hate. So I answered. Perhaps people who don't like hearing answers to questions, shouldn't read publicly accessible forums on the internet. Hurts them in their feelings place, apparently.
Thanks Margaret for your understanding. It's a rare gift around these parts.
