Agree, she seemed to like to complain. I think some of her unhappiness would follow her anywhere.

I agree. It seemed both positive and negative at the same time.

I will need to take this in small doses.

Did not know it was about 30 minutes long. I got through the first ten minutes or so. Will return.

In the 17 years we have been here I have met many people who moved here and seemed to love it here but only a few who moved here and then moved somewhere else. And a couple who moved right next door to the Villages.

Well he asked her to name the things she didn't like. Not seeing how that makes her unhappy. But your criticism of that (and everyone else's criticism of it) seems to prove her point of wanting to remain anonymous.

Some takeaways:

This guy hates the fact you're enjoying your life.
He cant believe there is such thing as a golf cart mechanic
We have our own strain of an std. We're all rich racists and everyone hates us.
Everyone here is afraid of the evil developers
Oh and TRUMP.....waaaaaaaahhh
Long time villager sets him straight in the nicest way possible and he's forced to walk back his BS.
98% village positive comments

Alternative facts. I believe that's the phrase you people use when you're in denial

Mostly he was on point but very sarcastic.

It seems like a realtor agent's pitch for helping people move to the Villages.

Most of it was very positive.

The lady commentator was cut off in the video I watched around the 30 minute mark and got a very small amount of time to express her opinions.

[JMintzer]

At the beginning of the video, he was a sarcastic, condescending little ****. All the "What the hells?" and such... But one he started interviewing the gentleman, his demeanor suddenly changed and he was much more polite.

With the lady, well she was a mess... I doubt she'd be happy anywhere...

[RVJim]

Why is this video even important or of any interest. If you like it in TV, then enjoy it and don’t worry about “hit pieces”. If you are insecure and need constant positive reinforcement then get yourself worked up. Life is too short to worry about this kind of noise.

I do believe he could find many, many people to give there opinion about The Villages. Just ask anyone. 99% will tell you how great it is to be here!

Exactly what I was trying to convey. TY

What do you mean by "You People?" That's a highly racist inference when one says, "You people" to someone.

Or they have different opinion than you. The glass can be half full or half empty?

I thought it was pretty even-handed. I thought the gentleman who agreed to be interviewed was spot on with his assessments. He said many things I have thought, or said. His view that people come here thinking it's a vacation spot, and have to learn that it's not that, it's a place to live. Some of the glitz and sparkle that appeals to people when they visit for a few days wears off, and you have to get comfortable with the daily living, which IMO is pretty sweet.
I really enjoyed his commentary.

My opinion as well. The gentleman was articulate, soft spoken, and his comments were well thought out.
