It was very hard to decipher the rant. If you can’t drive, assisted living is your next option.

I live in the villages and could easily live here without a car. There are 5 golf car accessible grocery stores near us. We are involved in many activities besides golf. I have heard only 50% of residents play golf. Softball is very popular. The fees are very reasonable compared to other communities.
The heat is part of being in Florida. We found we could acclimate by spending time outside and NOT using the A/C in the car.
Hope you find a place you like.

Yesterday I had a chance to read previous posts of the OP. It seem s that he does not live in TV. He lives in a condo in the NY and paying$550 condo fees. Does not drive and is looking for a woman, one that can drive. Said he would never buy in TV

I have lived in The Villages for 7 yrs & love it. I don't have a car but I do have two golf carts. One is a convertible. Yes there are a couple of places I can't get to by cart so I take UBER/ LYFT. I may spend up to $100 per month on the taxi's. Consider what a car costs. So-So So many activities here, I have never found any place to compare. If you know of one please let me know. I'm up for a second home/condo.

I hope you find someplace that suits you.

Bjeanj- we lived in TV for 8 yrs. then moved to Texas for a reason that suits us. Believe me summers in Texas are a heck of a lot hotter than TV. We had 2+ weeks of 110 degrees & very seldom got less than 90. But from Nov. thru Mar. it’s cold to jacket weather. This is just my opinion, everybody is different about hot, warm or cold weather!

Well, as Mom used to say when we complained; "you'd b_tch if you were hung with a new rope". Never really did figure out what that meant. But to each his own, I guess.

I’ve only been in rec centers to vote and haven’t been in one of the pools for more years then I can count , but I do love the beauty and order of the place , the Sharon , the squares and so many other things and if you want a big mall , I’m headed to one this afternoon theMall of Millenia in Orlando to shop for presents and clothes for me that I don’t need lol about 45 minutes on a str8 road

New rope can be very scratchy on the skin...

They can leave a nasty rope burn...

It's a long list......check out previous posts.

Low traffic in season? I don't think so. Also, if you think an eighty old person with a paper stop sign makes the villages gated, you must be not paying attention

Joe, this is easy, instead of telling us what you don't like, just don't live here.

He doesn't live here ,never has and said he would never buy here. I think he is just trolling.
