And the villages is no different. The developer has written restrictions into the deeds and it's his way or the highway. If you don't believe it, just try violating any of the many restrictions. It was in the Daily Sun not too long ago that some people were putting in window airconditioners. Someone complained and that was the end of that. They had to be taken down.

Secondly, to me there is no comparison to be made between NYC and TV. It is a preference I choose to make. I have experienced both and my opinion is TV is the best place to be, to have fun.
I would suggest it's because the specific loss of freedoms (i.e., restrictions) in the Villages are agreeable to you.
