This is the very reason TV gets the "Stepford" label thrown at it so often. If you don't speak the party line, get my drift?
Am I really the only one who notices this? I doubt it.
The homes we stayed at, both of them, had very nice cabinets and other added features..........I guess what you saw was the stripped down lowest priced model?

NO Senior. Read some of his old posts. What he saw was the owners being a member of a political party that he doesn't like.
One of the things I love about the villages is that homes are available at resale starting at about seventy thousand dollars clear through over a million dollars.
The new homes are available at prices of about $140K and can be built that cost more than a million dollars.
The amenity fee is around 135 dollars a month and based on cost of living. Bonds are higher or lower based on the size of the home and the area. Taxes are based on size of lot and size of home and price. So homes here are available to fit a lot of people's budgets.
So the folks living in the lower priced home are getting
the exact same lifestyle as the folks living in the highest priced home.
How nice is that? Plus all this building is giving employment to a lot of families and has taken Sumter county from one of the poorest counties to one of the most employed areas in Florida.
Now. I am from Ohio. I do not know the Morse family. I don't work for them or for anyone anymore. I just absolutely love it here.
