Andy obviously had set out to do a number on 55 and over communities. His was anything but an unbiased analysis, about as reliable as the usual analyses of the mainstream media. Sex sells. Thus Kat, Mr. Midnight, Wendy, his wine club and women's softball interviews. He and his publisher were shameless in focusing on a small percentage of the overall Villages population.

An objective and fact based comprehensive history of the evolution of 55 and over communities, including The Villages, can be found in "From Sun Cities to The Villages" by Judith Ann Trolander.
