True, but it costs 5X when you add in traffic time, parking $$$, and there's still that pesky risk of carjacking or being mugged, so...hard pass.


Lots of gorgeous lakes near TV.


Don't need mass transit in TV, so not sure why this is relevant.

Finally, we have a winner!
There was a recent carjacking including a loaded gun and people who have been assaulted in The Villages. The lakes near The Villages have gators and aren't especially nice. (The gulf is great if you want to drive 2 hours through crazy traffic and normally big crowds.) Mass transient would be appreciated by many in The Villages were driving cars/carts are no longer available to those residents because of visual and other handicaps. There have been threads to that effect. Hey, it works for the crowds that live here but there are fine places to live outside this enclave.
