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.

20 Years ago, I thought Portland, Or. was a great city. Winter was difficult with cold and too much rain, but summers were outstanding. Unfortunately, it attracted too many people and a lot of crime and that changed it. California was wonderful in the 60s and 70s. Basically, locations change. Increasing summer heat and hurricanes are making year around living in Florida less pleasant.
