on one hand i feel like this thread is being trolled by the o.p.

and on the other hand i feel that the o.p. has already made up their mind that the villages is not the place they want to retire for a number of reasons.

i learned a long time ago that is is often best to stay away from offering opinions that might change another's mind. the times i did attempt to do that always seemed to bite me on the butt and i just got told. 'see! i toldja so!'

perhaps it is best to let wrkdhrd continue to evaluate in their own way if they are so inclined.
