The Villages is a unique and special place. Florida is too, love them both. The growth makes this place better, as far as I am concerned. My mother lived here when Brownwood was just starting to be built, I remember liking LSL then.
I moved here, I suppose, for most of the reasons the original poster "hates".
I was always a New England guy, biased by its beauty and history. I don't miss a thing about New England now, its changed for the worse in my opinion, and continuing in the wrong direction. Florida is still a "free state" and I hope it remains so as long as I live. New England is no longer as free as it was in my youth, IMHO.
There is great development here for sure, but drive west or north and find the rural Florida that is the "real Florida".
Not sure what you mean about traffic, been here 3 years and haven't seen any traffic, compared with a real city.
I have found great pizza here in Florida, not going to say where.
I don't look back, only looking forward, love it here.
