Many people move here with the intent to die here, but this community discourages that. Is it time to change that, or do we stay as a transitional community?
I believe this is promoted as an ACTIVE retirement community. There are many assistant living facilities in TV that have vans to transport to various events. Sell their house and use proceeds to pay for their care. Problem solved!

I’ve used Uber several times here with no issues. The wait is usually around 10 minutes and the fare is reasonable. I think you can even schedule a ride in advance if you have a medical appointment. And it’s door to door service.

$1.60/mile in Orlando
$2/mile in Annapolis, MD
$4/mile ($24) to take me to Lake Sumter

Villages rates aren't astronomical but twice what I am used to.

Yes it’s not cheap. But for as often as I need it, it works for me.
