Even my wife makes jokes about it. Right now the Villages is #1 on my list ( not that my vote counts) as I am a golf teaching professional and when I retire I want to PLAY golf as much as I can> Hope to see you all in a few years.
Of course the story is nonsense, but whenever somebody needles me with it, my retort is: "Hey that is just advertising propaganda promulgated by the Developer to try to sell more homes." That usually puts an end to the conversation.
