(it's hot and sticky in the summer and I am afraid of hurricanes)...but we LOVE TV! We could have moved to alot of places in the south but we chose TV.
On our first visit we crossing the street at LSL and someone in a golf cart was obviously waiting for us so we scooted across (maybe trotted) to get out of his way more quickly when he leaned out of his cart and called to us "There's no running in The Villages!"

We have never met so many friendly people. That was NOT an isolated occurance. On every trip down we have met more and more people who go out of there way to be friendly, helpful and kind.
We are constantly asked by our friends up here why we are moving to Florida ("Don't you know how HOT it is there?") and we always respond "We aren't moving to Florida - we're moving to The Villages!" Our house will be done in October and we can't WAIT to be there! It may not be for everyone but it IS for us! But, then, I probably don't need to preach to the choir.
