I don't like to judge other people. He may have things going on in his life that make the Villages uncomfortable for him. Maybe his wife is sick or has passed away, or he lives in an unfriendly neighborhood. You never know what is going on in other people's lives. My feeling about The Villages, is that it is large enough and has such a huge variety of people, that it has been easy for us to find people we like, that share our values. There are some people here that are not my cup of tea, but I choose not to spend time with them. Yes, there is a "bubble" type mentality here for some people, but you find those people everywhere, not just The Villages. We try to go "off campus" every few weeks or so, just to see and be among people who are not old retirees, which we find refreshing. We like restaurants and cultural activites in Orlando and Tampa. If I spent every minute here I would probably find it a little claustrophobic, so we choose to break up our time a little and get out into the rest of the world. I realize some people spend about every minute in TV and love it; just a difference in people and their needs.
