Maybe if you keep after him he'll learn only to post glamourous thought about The Villages.
To the OP, your observations are astute and when one has an outside clarity they can see things others can't. You're right, Spanish Springs is a shell of commercial activity it was back in the early 2000's. I believe in time, which most of us won't see, this will be just another Florida development for all ages.
Don't get your feather's up, as I said, I believe it will be years before that transition happens but nothing stays the same. For now, The Villages is what it is, an enclave of old people with cart paths and sameness. There are activities available and at this age, it is enough for many. But do bring your wallet!
