No state income taxes
No tax on retirement income
Great winter weather.
No lockdowns

3 out of 4 ain’t bad….but then, that other one spreads disease and death

When they came to visit they saw the true Villages. 98% of the residents are lights out by 9:30 PM. Hardly a soul is out past 10PM.

I'm one of that 2%...not that I stay up late, I don't. But sometimes, after the show in SS, it's nice to hang around, enjoy a cocktail, food, whatever then drive over the bridge with no one around, let the cool air run thru your hair (I'm a lady- so there is still some hair up there) , feel the chill as you go thru that park like area and then drive home thru historic area , sometimes taking the long way. It's very pleasant and just makes you feel....young.

My example was a person with a permanent residence in Fla for 10 months and temporary up north for July/August.

Informal. a person who vacations in or moves to a warmer climate during cold weather:
Since 9/11, the ease with which Canadian snowbirds cross the U.S. border has changed.

???? Moving from New England to Florida for September to June literally is moving to a warmer climate during cold weather.
