Holy smokes! That is really hot!

So you don’t live here anymore?

It’s Xmas, people should be kind to each other instead of rude. Sometimes neighbors want to say what is in their mind and we need to be gentle in the reply. They may be very elderly

?????
"villiages" vs. Villages
"frees" vs. fees
"Alot" vs. a lot
"their" vs. there
"here" vs. hear
"impotent" vs. important
"and home" vs. a home

It is very hard to take your criticism seriously when you have less than a third grade education.

We are all elderly. When you post gibberish this is what happens.

I'm up for a second home/condo.
Bingo!! It's not the way I do it, but it makes a lot more sense than the way I do it.

I wonder why people post this kind of stuff. If, the villages it is not right for you, I truly hope you will find something more suited to your needs are happy.

If, you don't drive and don't like the heat. There are many places you might like better.
A city will offer more public transit. New York City is great for that. New York City does get hot in the summer and there is snow.

Assuming you are retired, The world is your oyster. Be happy in it where ever you choose.

I do not doubt what you say. I placed a post that they might like New York City that has a fine public transportation, probably one of the best in the world. Sadly he/she/it is a miserable person who needs to leave a post, for what purpose?

I truly wish them well. Well, away from me.

So we have a really badly written, very negative post. Followed by how many pages of dogpiling on the person who posted it?

"Florida's Friendliest Hometown" my left butt-cheek.

Default who are you

First I am sorry you are impotant, and remember if things are free it us a good thing, I live here but never get on top of my neighbors home. Perhaps you got tipsy one night or two.My father in law used to say if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen, but were you in the kitchen when you wrote this? I totally misunderstood go their , like to their house or what? Thank God you wrote this eloquent letter to warn the world about the issues as it relates to home ownership in The Villages. You sound like quite the expert.

I have a car but never drive it. Everything I need is available via my golf cart. Maybe you live in wrong area.

All those things you can see when you visit. If you don't want that why would you think about moving here????????

If you hate everything about The Villages, why are you wasting your time on this site?

I hope you find someplace that suits you.
I think this might be a case of the original poster drinking and typing. 😀
