The same, no culture, was said about the town I came from in southern CA. Honestly, that can be said for many locales, but there might be areas nearby where one can partake of "culture." Around here, one can drive to Orlando, Sarasota, other cities, for events that might not be available here in The Villages. Unless one lives in a large city, with theaters, museums, art exhibits, most people have to drive to areas where they can find that sort of "entertainment."
Some people really enjoy living in the city, with the hustle and bustle, the theater, the sophistication, the crowds. Personally, I've been to the cities, seen the art exhibits, been to the theater, dined in fine restaurants, and for me, a little more peace and quiet makes me comfortable. Some just enjoy a more casual lifestyle and this is a good place to live that kind of life. Doesn't mean the residents don't enjoy "culture" just means they've decided that what The Villages has to offer is more appealing to them. This community isn't for all, but all who live here seem to feel it is for them.
