So people who enjoy sitting on their lanais in nice weather are much more likely to interact with folks taking their dogs for a walk or just getting exercise. Plus neighbors can see that you're home and might come over to share a snack or a few minutes of chit-chat. Or ask for that ubiquitous cup of sugar that every old fashioned neighborhood knows about.
Other neighborhoods in The Villages can easily end up with similar experiences, however the Historic Section seems to be built for the purpose.

Thank makes a lot of sense and I wish TV still used that concept with their home plans. Nothing like a nice veranda facing the street and the opportunity to watch the world go by from a comfy chair. Even screening it in wouldn't keep one from interacting with the neighbors. But then the kissing lanais would be gone.
