Maybe people here awhile know how well this place is run and how beautiful all the different Villages are.
Age has much to do with planning. If one is an old lady or old man living here over 5 years, blinders work beautifully. If one is a younger person in their 50's or early 60's, they want to move here with eyes wide open.

And, yes, The Villages concept has struggled with the closing of Katie Belle's, apartments where businesses earlier, closing of the country club by Mira Mesa golf course area and probably more changes to come.

You are invested here, it's understandable to attack to protect the image but open eyes are necessary for those considering where to spend their money and retirement.
