A few questions on tv
Hello,
My husband wrote last night and explained that we will be visiting The Villages this week and possibly returning at the end of the month. We were both teachers in NYS until we retired to Sarasota. We presently live in South Carolina and may consider moving.
Since we already lived in Florida for 8 years I have some knowledge of Florida life. However, I also have some concerns. We lived in a community that had a large amount of snowbirds. Every April/May people packed up and left for the north. During that time period it was nice to get into restaurants but everything stopped. Clubs, organizations and other activities went into a "summer mode" until the return of the snowbirds. Although my husband and I travel for a few weeks at a time I felt that there was no one around during our summer months. I would appreciate some feedback on how this affects the neighborhoods of TV.
We have also lived through two summers of hurricanes and threats of tornadoes. Since there is no perfect place I know that these can happen and in fact did in the Ocala area. Sink holes we did not deal with.
I also would like an explanation of the bond issue. In my mind there are many extra costs associated with living in TV which may not be fully explained in the literature that we received. Any comments would be appreciated.
