We have a couple of friends who reside in a condo that they own in a small development within about 10 miles of The Villages. They come here to the movies, and the restaurants all the time. We asked why they didn't look for a villa or a place to buy in The Villages, and he said, "For all the stuff you guys have there, the amenities fees are astronomical."
I said, "What do you pay?"
He replied, "It's only $387 a month."
I said, "In The Villages we pay just $137 a month."
He then accused me of lying and said there must be a lot of "hidden" fees.
I said there weren't any "hidden" fees, so then he replied that The Villages was just too busy for them. If they lived in TV they'd never get any rest. Where they were it was peaceful and quiet.
It was. I didn't argue.
