As we get closer to selling the house I think I need some advice from those of you who live in the Villages. First was the fact that TV is about 98% Republican. My husband and I are Progressive Democrats but I did not think this would be a problem until I saw posts saying the when Rick Scott came to The Villages to sign legislation his people were asked to look for "progressives" and keep them away. Some people I met who were Democrats seemed reluctant to say so out loud? I just want to know that, in the next national election, if I have a Democratic sign on my golf cart it won't be keyed. Next question is about pets. How pet friendly is The Villages and how strict are they about their pet rules? I think there is only one dog park? This might be touchy but we are used to an area that is culturally diverse. Can you shed some light on why there are not more people of color at the Villages? Lastly: we will be moving without knowing anyone at The Villages. Do residents help "newbies" adjust, do they reach out. Despite the above misgivings we really ARE looking forward to coming. Thanks!

You should move to. an area. and place where. you can be. comfortable. The Villages. is known for its lifestyle and all its activities, which curiously enough you fail to mention. Everyone is welcome here regardless of political persuasion or race, religion etc. When you come, get your information from the horses mouth since some of what you. write is flat out incorrect.,
