I didn't think it was a it piece at all. He was pretty positive for the most part.

I agree! In fact I viewed it yesterday and sent it to a couple of my golfing buddies here in Missouri to give them a vision of The Villages.

Maybe he cracked a few jokes at the Villages and residents but I've heard worst about the Villages.

I think the video poster Nick lives in California and is a conservative or independent politically.
I've been watching his videos for a year and some are pretty funny especially when he makes up a song about the city.
He normally is positive about Florida's nice areas and so I was shocked at his headline and comments about The Villages.
The person first interviewed on the video is actually very positive about living here. So I don't understand Nick's negative headlines about being conservative and all. In other videos he ranks Florida as a nice place to live in certain areas.

He does indicate TV would in the future, be a possibility for himself. I would not hang with the last interviewee ().

The last interviewee was all over the place. She was apparently unable to clearly articulate her opinions. There are things not to love about TV as there are about anyplace, but I couldn’t really tell what her grievances were exactly.

the person who posted this video is obviously young and lacks common sense, views the world through uneducated glasses and narrow view of the world at large.

I enjoyed the televised interview with the gentleman. I felt his comments were succinctly expressed and right on the money.

I enjoyed the video. TV is a beautiful place with tons of fun activities, a nice choice of restaurants/shopping. Even the guy who made the video said that he could see himself living there once he's 55+. TV might seem like a bit of a "bubble" but it's a very nice bubble.

It seems some of the respondents didn’t see the same video I did.

I think he put the woman in as a counterbalance to the gentleman he interviewed. The problem is he was articulate and she was decidedly not, therefore not the counter view he may have been striving for.

Default Had Positives & Negatives

It seemed both Positive and Negative. I would not consider it a modern masterpiece, the first part did seem negative but after he began talking to that guy it made more sense. The woman from New York, I began to see her point of view and maybe she would be happier back home.
