I could tell you 20 things most people love about TV, but that isn't your topic.
No question, there is a lot of turnover in The Villages. Just look at the number of resale properties for sale on VLS and MLS. You won't hear from people who have moved on because they're not on TOTV! People move on not necessarily for "bad" reasons. In any retirement community you'll get residents leaving for expected reasons: because of medical issues, loss of a partner, or to be closer to family.
Other reasons I hear from people who would like to move: to be closer to the ocean, and to have more privacy. After five or six years, I occasionally hear from friends that they're bored with knowing what to expect each and every day. They've seen the parades, danced in the town squares, and played all the golf courses. When they moved to TV, it was new and very exciting. Now there is a sense of predictability about each day. So they want to experience some new adventures. There is nothing wrong, or flawed, about people who move out of TV. It's not for everyone. But the majority of people who live in TV really love it!
