For the life of me, I cannot understand why someone would buy a retirement home in a community that is advertised as a "golf cart community", has over 90 miles of cart paths and think that it is strange that so many people prefer golf carts.

The golf cart accessibility is one of the main reasons that I live here. I really try to avoid taking my car unless absolutely necessary. I much prefer the open air and the fun of riding in my cart.Sometimes I just take the cart for a ride because I enjoy it.
Just because it's a "golf cart community" where golf carts are welcome doesn't exactly explain why everyone seems to be so in love with them. Obviously if you're a golfer it makes great sense. To me, it makes none.

But our likes & dislikes don't exactly fit with the majority of people here. We're also here for different reasons than most people who come to the TV area. So I guess in many ways I'm trying to learn about & understand the "culture" which for the most part I do not.
