A friend of his also in the same organization was reported by a new neighbor for having more than two dogs and was given two weeks to either find a new home for the dogs or for herself. That was his breaking point. Rather than take a chance of being forced to move or stop doing something he loved, he opted to move. He doesn't sound too unhappy about having to move.
So, some sell their house to upgrade or downgrade but are staying in TV. Some leave for health issues (I'm including the need to be closer to family since that's a mental thing). Some leave because they're unhappy here but I think those are few and far between. Some leave because of financial setbacks. And then there are reasons that make you scratch your head (like being upset that someone might report you for breaking the rules).

Someone reported a small caramic frog my wife placed in the garden and she was forced to move it. A few months later after extensive landscaping we were reported again for two twin birds set inside the landscape. This was the final straw. My wife wants to move now and we fight about it all the time. It looks like my wife will win the battle and after next summer, I might become an ex villager. So sad that people can be so shallow and need to report their neighbor.
With all the activities available, don't these people have anything else to do with their lives.
