New article about The Villages-and NO, our car doesn’t have dice dangling in the car!
 

Loved this quote from "John": "You've got the biggest population of Karens!"
He must read this forum.

"I (the author) left Los Angeles in part to escape the Karens, not invite them to surveil me by golf cart, fine me, and critique my front yard in the newspaper."

Oh boy that's going to hurt.

the UK Daily Mail on Sunday had a front page article on us. if you can find it online, it makes a good read

Other than that snarky comment, not a bad article.

Would have been interesting if he spent some time with Don Wiley.

Pretty even- handed article.

I'd agree it's fairly even-handed, but its failure to criticize Some Kind of Heaven as a misguided hatchet job was an omission. Also, thanks PugMom for mentioning the Daily Mail article -- I'll see if I can find that.

You're telling me it's fuzzy dice? No wonder my loofas haven't been getting me any action.

I’ve grown so tired of the constant hit job articles on the Villages, it is refreshing to finally read something that appears to attempt an objective view without a preconceived agenda. Also, I enjoyed the endless weekend analogy. Thanks for posting the link.

Reason
 

Kinda thought he *did* criticize it. As to the unusual "balance" shown, it does come from a publication called "Reason". 😄

I found it and read it. Then I read through "Some kind of Heaven", where do they find these people to interview. I've been here almost 20 years and never met people like that.

Don’t look to the Daily Mail for truth or fairness or accuracy. I think that’s the rag that trumpeted The Villages falsely as a hotbed of venereal disease because it sold papers.

Not a “snarky comment”…pretty much the truth from our experience the two years we’ve been here. Y’all just can’t leave others be…

THIS!!! We think a like. Whenever I get “so, you know what they do in The Villages? (Wink)”. My answer is “sure, that’s why I moved there “. The look of horror is so worth it 😂

Thanks. That’s a fair and well-written article. Nice to see.
