Plus, the salaries are higher elsewhere.

Agreed. Thanks to the massive expansion of The Villages, there are fewer and fewer neighborhoods where young families can raise their children. Public schools are getting worse and worse while the Charter School is taking more and more children of lower-income employees of/at The Villages. Private schools are few and far between. Middleton is great, IF you work in the southern half of The Villages. But why would anyone want to commute an hour in each direction for a relatively low-paying job as a doctor, nurse, PA, receptionist, scheduler, phlebotomist, etc at TVH up in Spanish Springs?
TVH was awesome for years because it was relatively exclusive, and didn't need thousands of employees to care for tens of thousands of patients. That's all changed. It's become an enormous machine that has been pieced together with duct tape and zip-ties, and the only people who know how it's run, are getting ready to retire.
