Heh I feel the same way about people insisting that Florida is heaven on earth, that you feel about people insisting the Villages is heaven on earth. And I always get the "if you don't like it, leave" ergo decedo (traitorous critic fallacy) response from people who don't have the mental fortitude to address the substance of the discussion.

My response to them is usually something along the lines of "pay for me to live somewhere else in a similar style and comfort level and I'll get in line for a ticket out." If The Villages was in Albuequerque or Santa Fe, and had the same cost of living, we would be there instead of Florida. Alas, TV is in Florida. It sucks, but it is what it is.
