You bring up a good point about the Villages (Florida in general) vs northern areas.

Florida is built for heat. AC everywhere. Pools. Open air dining with ceiling fans everywhere. Beach casual dress accepted almost anywhere you go.

Other places have to deal with occasional extreme heat, but most certainly cold/bitter cold. With limited resources, the lean is towards addressing the cold issue, which spills over into the number of pools, the use/purchase of AC, and the expectation, even in hotter weather, that long pants/shoes/socks are expected in "more refined" venues.

I'll take the Florida approach any day/time of the year.
