Reasons for moving out of TV

[NJblue]

Just curious...

[graciegirl]

I have heard of a case where one spouse liked it and the other didn't. He was missing his children and grandchildren, NO it was HE who wanted to return to their old home.

[Villages Kahuna]

That's what our Villages sales rep told us when I asked whether everyone being so happy and getting along was really what it appeared. She explained, "sure there are some nasty, grumpy people who buy here. But they don't last long", she said. I asked why and she responded, "Grumps quickly find that no one wants to hear of their complaints about life, their house, the neighbors, the developer, etc." She opined that grumps quickly find themselves with almost no one to talk to and so they leave.

That's surely the way it appears to me. In fact, I don't think I know any grumps.

Whoops! I forgot the POA!

[graciegirl]

You know that is right, Kahuna. I think that it is a place for people who are comfortable with themselves and others, have had some life experiences that have 'rounded off' their sharp places and enough successes and failures that they can relate a lot to others similar experiences. I think that that in itself is my biggest draw to TV, that for the most part everyone is grown up and most still act like kids. I love that quality of adventure and fun.

Usually the above lends itself to a sense of humor which I seem to be finding in people at every turn.

MOVED TO STONECREST... MORE HOME FOR THE MONEY.. SAME AMMENITIES and access to THE VILLAGES ACTIVITES

[mcelheny]

People leave for as many reasons as there are people. Quite a few of my friends have left. All had different reasons...for some the summers were too hot and they moved as a group to NC. Some found they got homesick and wanted to go back home. Many found they wanted a smaller gated community or a cheaper gated community. Some just got bored and moved to the big cities on the coasts. I once thought I would be a full timer but I am so loving my hometown with all my friends, a college. Lake Erie, beautiful people that I am having second thoughts. I think being a snowbird would be perfect for us. One thing I know is I find wonderful people everywhere I go...

Gracie,

Whose grown up??? LOL

My draw to tv is quite the opposite. I feel and act like a kid again, having fun and casting fate to the wind. I suppose I sound very immature but fortunately I have found people who feel as I do and thats why I dlont think I would ever consider moving out of TV(once I get there).

Gracie, even tho Im a child at heart can we still be friends???? ;)

[tkret]

As a Villager Wannabe (very soon) but a frequent visitor, the only reason I can think of is ::: THEY'VE LOST THEIR MINDS!!!!! ;D

Nonie.

You made me rethink what I wrote and I changed it. What I meant to somehow convey is that people had the wisdom from living awhile to be more tolerant, forgiving, comfortable and accepting of themselves and others. And also the joy of throwing caution to the winds and just enjoy living for pure fun.

I do want to be your young friend. ;)

[SteveZ]

Over the years have seen a lot of people move to Florida (not just TV), only to leave a short time later. The most common reasons I've seen are:

1. It's too hot. Florida is not Michigan or New York. To adapt requires a change-of-pace. Eventually you adapt, but many are too impatient for that.

2. Death in the family. I saw this a lot where my folks lived (in the New Port Richey area) where one of the spouses (usually the male) died, and the survivor cried, "My kids need me" and book North ASAP.

3. I'm lonely. For the very shy who have taken lifetimes to develop just a couple outside-the-family relationships (or maybe none at all), this is a hard one.

If you can give a place like TV (or FL in general) a chance, you can find may reasons to mitigate each of the above out-reasons. It's a matter of personal choice.

[nONIE]

Graciegirl,

Well put! :bigthumbsup:

[renielarson]

I have a friend who moved out of TV.

His reason....he is not social...the social life did not appeal to him.

To each their own....even if I don't agree.

[chuckinca]

You live in StoneCrest? You access the villages activities? Hmmm



Gracie:

He said "same amenities and access to villages activities" Not use of villages amenities.

Most of villages amenities are open to the public, in fact the public is encouraged to use them. The only villages amenities that are strictly for residents (and their guests) are the executive courses, rec centers and pools and Katy Belle's. Stonecrest, Spruce Creek South, Spruce Creek, Water Oak, Orange Blossom, etc, etc, have all those things except the last one which is survivable. I would imagine that the population of the many other retirement communities near TV is probably around 30K and most of those people do a lot of their spending in the villages - as was the intent of the TV developer.

Thank you Russ. I am beginning to sound like a veteran villager. Defensive!

We have friends who live in Stone Crest and I have only been to their house which is nice. The community does not seem to have restrictions on the color of the homes (some are wildly colored) or upkeep (some are not well kept ) or additions (some are not lovely) which is making it appear spotty as they say in real estate. I am glad for the restrictions we have from our "benevolent dictator". ;)

[Russ_Boston]

GG - It was actually Chuck's reply - but I agree with his thoughts.

[billy2fish]

In happy 62 post he mentioned his reasons for moving out of TV to stonecrest.Let me start by informing you that I do not live in TV,but as soon as i can I will be living in this perfect utopia will be up sept. 30th till oct.6th looking for our little piece of heaven on earth.Happy62 said same amenities, not quite,cost to join golf course $ 2000.00 then $ 2900.00 a year lets see 2000 plus 20 years at 2900 comes to $ 60000.00.He said he had free access to TV well welcome but I hope that doesn't mean his golf cart is welcome too. In my opinion every one should be welcomed to TV,It's good for the businesses that operate within the community,but as for parking in the town squares after 5pm I think that villagers should have priority maybe a sticker on the windshield,and nonvillagers some 3 or so blocks away.What is your opinion?

Sounds good to me.

Hurry on down. We are all missing the fun. Here I am with a house in Hadley on a very hot sticky Cincinnati day, when I could be in TV and have the same.

[Russ_Boston]

I would assume that the $2900 per year pays for all greens fees. If you played at one of the championship courses in TV you'd pay around $30 per round (average between summer and winter costs). Two times per week times 50 weeks = $3000 so that's kind of a wash. There are a lot of other comparisons that could be drawn such as only having the choice of one course, no 'free' execs etc but that cost comparison you gave doesn't really hold.

[billy2fish]

8) Well Russ it holds true when all you play is the execs.And thats mostly what I will be playing. But the real question is that they will be using the golf paths and parking at the town squares.maybe thats allowed in Norton mass. its a little different in east Boston. :cop:

[mcelheny]

NJBlue,
Good poll! 72 people have voted so far.

[Russ_Boston]

It may hold true but it's apples to oranges. Full size course to execs. Don't get me wrong. I love the variety that TV offers for us golfers but even those in other surrounding communities can play them as well for a higher fee.

[redwitch]

Sounds good to me.

No question you could have a hot, sticky day in TV today and yesterday and tomorrow and tomorrow and ..... The humidity is winning and I STILL love TV.

Chuck.

I am trying to think of communities close by other than StoneCrest and the one adjacent to Lake Miona, I can think of one more on 441, other than that, all that comes to my mind are the areas outside the municipalities with sporadic and little groups of homes and the isolated homes that look like they have been there for a long time. There is also a community of manufactured homes I saw. 30 thousand more folks in other communties. We, TV, are supposedly 70 K if we were all there at the same time. We must be almost as big as Ocala. Maybe I am wrong.

Remember, I am very much a newby.I love maps ,love navigating around and seeing what is there. We found some easier routes going north and south that we didn't have to go through the villages. Driving a car of course.

I am interested in what is around us.

Anyway, friends, educate me. What are the other developments and how big are they? and how close? There is a Dell Webb. What is that called?

We have moved enough things in to "exist" three weeks ago. We won't be selling our home in West Chester just yet, or maybe not at all. We look to share time eventually equally between the two places as long as our daughter and grandchildren are in West Chester.

My husband is still not quite retired, but that is coming soon. Our plans right now are to return in the fall for an undetermined length of time. I am busily sewing, painting pictures for the walls and accumulating accessories and thinking about our house on Havana Trail every available minute. PM me of where you live in Dayton. We Buckeyes have an opportunity for some great partys!

[golfpro]

We made the visit and the whole tour. However, we were looking at other States and communities. We have chosen another State. Our biggest minus for TV was actually FL weather. Neither one of us could get past the humidity. It kept us indoors, which is so opposite of our personalities and we love playing golf, etc. My wife actually gets ill. We tried playing 18 a couple of days and couldn't even finish.

We thoroughly enjoy reading the posts (mostly !!) and would love to continue to read and sometimes post if that is permissible from time to time.

God Bless you all.

[Russ_Boston]

Golfpro - I enjoyed your posts - best of luck in your retirement choice.

[islandgal]

golfpro-

Best of luck to you. I can certainly understand - I am still adjusting myself.
I am curious to learn what state you chose.

Thanks again Kahuna, another nice shot at the POA.

You have to admit the POA has the rep of being the negative voice here. I'm not saying their purpose/voice isn't warranted in some cases but it would be nice to read some positive feedback from them.

Or...is their purpose to only capitalize on the negative? Don't pounce on me please, that is an honest question that I really don't know the answer, ok?

I wish you the best of luck in your retirement choice. Florida is very humid in the summer. My wife and I considered just spending the winter in Florida but I really don't want the cost and the hassle of maintaining two different homes.

Let us know where you wind up going to.

Bright..... You've heard the expression, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease." Unfortunately, the only way to get it fixed is to "squeak."

When one is supporting a cause, how can one be anything other than negative over things that are ignored that need fixing?

Kahuna's last comment re POA was merely high-school mentality. Am surprised that a man of his stature would stoop so low.

barb

[renielarson]

Barb

I don't consider anyone's opinions as "high school mentality" and I am disappointed you added: "Am surprised that a man of his stature would stoop so low."

The problem here in the forum is if someone doesn't agree with another's opinion, they are put down and called names as you did with "high school mentality"...and referring to someone's stature of stooping low.

I believe everyone has a right to voice their own opinions and those opinions should be honored whether one agrees or not...without name calling.

It's just a matter of respect.

Please don't take my post wrong...I believe we all need to be more accepting of other's viewpoints and not make negative judgements.

This has nothing to do with whether or not I agree with you or anyone else.

...and you don't call what Kahuna said about the POA a negative judgement? One of his many negative judgements about the POA. I most certainly would NOT consider his comment about the POA as positive. And you can overlook what he said and feel the need to take issue with me?

Sorry you feel that way, Bright. I found his comment to be a put down on something I strongly believe in, and his glib remark about the POA was totally uncalled for. He can voice his negative opinion to issues, however, when he consistently insults an organization who is ALWAYS there to help people, that's a put down and high school mentality. In fact, I thought of a few choice expletives about him that wouldn't fly here,

He's voicing his negative opinion and so am I, except we are not on the same team. Sorry that you obviously defend his insults, and the need to comment on my opinion.

His calling the POA "grumps" is not name-calling?

[beady]

Well said, Bright, :agree:

It would make this forum so much more interesting and informative if we all could listen to everyones opinion and follow up with our own, without the jibes and criticism. To often the negative comments overtake and dilute any real discussion.

[zcaveman]

Am I missing a post? I went through all of the posts and I did not even see a Kahuna post. How can he dis the POA if there is no post?

[renielarson]

This is exactly what I was talking about, Barb...differences of opinions offending others...and obviously you cannot be open enough to just accept an opinion and let it go...I'm so sorry for you.

I was not taking sides...not at all

I was voicing my opinion about others taking offense to opposite viewpoints.

I am disappointed you cannot accept an opposing view...doesn't matter if you agree or not...it's just accepting it and going on with your life.

I accept an opposing viewpoint. I take offense to disrespectful name-calling is what this is all about, and as you pointed out. He was disrespectful in referring to the POA as "grumps." We will agree to disagree and I most certainly will not lose sleep over this. Am so disappointed in your need to criticize my feelings.

[renielarson]

Barb

Am disappointed you acted in the same manner you criticize.

[zcaveman]

Sorry. Kahuna's insignificant comment was on 6/24. It is now 7/10. I thought there was an issue presented.

I don't think we can dis the POA. Regardless of their beating some topics to death, I think that they are a voice for the Villagers. The Daily Sun is the happy news. The letters to the Editor are god bless the Villages or :edit: the democrats. Does anyone think that the Daily Sun will print a Letter to the Editor that tells you how bad the ER room was at TVRH. I sent a poem about golf requests that they would not print because it was not to their standards (read not TV happy).

For all of the Villagers that pick up the POA bulletin and toss it without reading it, shame on you. There is some interesting information in there.

[Sidney Lanier]

To get back to the topic, we met only one couple who were moving from TV back to where they had lived previously because he missed fishing. (I don't fish, so I didn't understand the issue.) We met them at their yard sale, and she was not happy about leaving....

I don't know why, but I am thinking of something completely unrelated (Hello Topicop...). We have a friend who will be 102 years old on November 4. She is the sweetest, most darling, warm, cheerful, loving, upbeat person I think I've ever met in my life; keep in mind that she is not only a widow but has outlived her daughter and is paralyzed and now living in a nursing home. At the big bash celebrating her 100th birthday, someone commented to me that Tillie "typifies the stereotypical 'sweet little old lady.'"

I disagreed, pointing out that Tillie is like this at age 100 because she was like this at ages 20, 40, 60, and 80 as well. And if Tillie were a miserable, whining, bitter, critical, judgmental, unhappy person at age 100, in all probability she was that way at ages 20, 40, 60, and 80 too.

I have no idea why this came to mind....

[renielarson]

So...a difference of opinion is considered mean?

Are you saying I don't have a right to my opinion and if I state it I'm being mean?

[Time for Tee]

:dontknow: :dontknow: Wow! The heat must be getting to the posters. Need to be HAPPY, Happy, Happy Village People! When we are in the Village we usually read the POA to find out information ----the Sun just does not give any true facts and we like to be well informed of our new winter home town. Bought two years ago and have decided to stay a "Snowbird" so when you live 6 months a year in two different States we depend on your posts and the newspapers for any and all information, may it be positive or negative. crap It is late~~~~~~nite all!

[Muncle]

Let's see. Kahuna's vile disgusting attack on the POA consisted of:

"That's surely the way it appears to me. In fact, I don't think I know any grumps.

Whoops! I forgot the POA!"

I kinda interpreted that as meaning Kahuna thought the POA was negative in many of their views and had a reputation as such. Whether one agrees with their various actions, be they siding, stopping One Sumter, fixing the hospital system, or passing a constitutional amendment, can anyone possibly deny they are negative toward the developer and Villages management in general? At least one definition of grumpy is "annoyed and irritable." Does that not describe the attitude of the POA in many of it's actions? The POA members of the lawsuit did not split $350,000 because they were ecstatic and compliant.

But then, it doesn't really matter whether Kahuna was accurate in his depiction of the POA and more than whether Z was accurate in his attack on the Daily Sun. Anyone is more that welcome to take exception to what is said and to attempt to refute it. But to attack someone for having the opinion and accuse them of being mean, insulting, or disrespectful is the epitome of petty.

--- remember, this is only an opinion and is philosophical in nature -- no personal attacks whatsoever.

[ladykathleen]

Hello to All : Since the POA has been mentioned in this thread I feel "compelled" to say something about the "negative" comments said about this organization. The POA Property Owners Association is the orignial Villages association started in 1975, go ahead and correct me if I am wrong on any of my "facts". This was started by Harold Swartz (The DEVELOPER) and the villagers in the Historic section of the Villages as this was the original Villages.

The Village Homeowners Association was started in the 90s????????? I think, after a dispute between the orginal villagers and the developer Harold Swartz in which promises were made to them and not kept and they went to court to win their right to the promises. The POA is the ONLY ASSOCIATION dedicated to your and my rights and welfare without profit on their minds. I could write a volumn on this but please do research and become involved in this ORGINAL ORGANIZATION.

[Best Mom]

Ladykathleen,
Thank you ladykathleen. Well put. I am amazed at all the new people who only know one side of the story who post and attack and post. They only know what the developers want them to know. However there are many silent readers who are afraid to post but are large in number. Isn't there about 5000 due paying members of the POA.?
I had teacher friends who came here 40 years ago. There is a great deal of history that is not known.
I am off to volleyball but thanks ladykathleen for being brave enough to post.

[Muncle]

What's that phrase I used last winter that got me in so much trouble? Let's see . . . aah . . . now I remember. I thought it applied then in that thread. I know it applies here now.

Specious twaddle.

Spout all the lies and misconceptions you want about the VHA but do not express an opinion, especially any type of criticism, of the POA. If you do, you become a mean spirited shill of the developer and are resorting to personal attacks. And you're scaring poor honest people who disagree with you and keeping them from posting.

Me thinks Muncle may be heading back to the stocks.

I'm not a big fan of the POA. However IMHO, to dismiss the POA as negative and unnecessary is perhaps unwise. You may need them in your corner some day. I do believe that many Villagers might turn to the POA if they had an important issue that couldn't be resolved with Village management.

I can't help it. When someone says what does...."blank" stand for, the devil in me makes up something. Usually off color or ornery. I was going to do that, but there are nice folks in the POA and nice folks in the............whatever the heck the other one is.

Watch me get out of this one. :redface:

I'm sure people move away from TV for different reasons. I doubt they move because they don't like TV life style. I can tell you why we are moving "to" TV (we'll be at our rental next week and our Lantana should be finished mid September)...is the lifestyle. My husband and I looked at Royal Highlands, Plantation, Legacy, and others. We could have bought a much larger home (with lots of storage) for less money. However, even though those communities had the pool/s, rec center, golf course (sometimes), etc. it was very dull. TV is alive and its residents enjoy life. That's what sold us. We got a smaller house for same amount of money but we know we'll be very happy. We are looking forward to meeting new friends.

The poll is missing one option: I WOULD NOT MOVE

I doubt they move because they don't like TV life style.

If this poll is at all accurate, then 10 % of people who move do so because they don't care for the TV lifestyle. I know, I know, hard to believe. :dontknow: We even have some posters who wish they'd bought in other locations.

I think perhaps the "free golf for life" attracts a lot of residents. And perhaps non-golfers then prefer to move somewhere that provides more house and less amenities. We don't golf, but find tons of great stuff to do. The Villages certainly has more "razzle dazzle" than anywhere else we considered.

The majority want to move closer to family. I can understand that.

I think we missed one, Your post about no Grumps here may have been in error....Your off the cuff remark about our answer to a Super Market Tabloid is right on the money...
The High School remark was totally out of line aimed at one of the more learned people on this Site...........Hillary was right, Making cookies is not a bad idea......

You say....

He makes a negative comment about no Grumps.....Fumar's assumption: "may have been an error."
I make a negative comment about his high-school mentality which you, Fumar, consider "totally out of line."


THE GREAT FUMAR has chosen to post his profound opinion:
Kahuna may have made an error; I was totally out of line.

Go figure....b
