Indiana, Iowa, Kansas are the midwest states. Is that where your values come from? 40% of us are from the Northeast States and the number is going to get larger. You should get out before the property values drop. I'll help you pack if that helps.

I feel your pain. I moved only a short way, from the South East Coast and we had our influx of migratory Northerners that attempted to ruin our lives also. They move to the South because of the cheaper cost of living and the laid back lifestyle, along with the "slow rednecks" that have such good manners, and then they attempt to change everything, being derisive and arrogant. They criticize everything and then want to instill their liberal values on a great Southern culture.

It will not be me that moves this time. I have moved as far South as I will, so now it will be those idiots that can go home. Most of them are Snow Birds anyway, since they "can't take the heat" of our summers. No offense meant to my good neighbor snow birds.

Thanks for taking the time to respond and to share your detailed observations . I grew up in far North but in a very small town which had excellent " people " values and we were taught manners .
After college I moved to the " Big Apple " to begin my career in the wall Street area of Manhattan . I worked there over 4 decades .
The " values " that I have described as now " invading " the Villages are exactly those that I experienced over the course of my career even on the weekends while living in a small town about 15 miles outside NYC .
Just very loud , uncouth , me-first , my-kids are the greatest and my grand-kids are the best and an attitude that says in each and every way " get otta my way ".
I used to find it amusing to watch this culture being played out in the parking lot of any NY Metro area Catholic Church following Sunday Mass . Finger salutes and all !!
I vowed that in the final years of my life that I would live somewhere / anywhere that was not dominated by such people .
I though I found it in the Villages and for many years it was good . However it seems that in the past 2 or 3 years the East Coast metro types are retiring in droves and have found the Villages .
Now that they are here they want to change and control everything including the way you may vote .
As I previously stated the " Rules and Deed Restrictions " do not apply to them and their friends . They do whatever they want when they want and for as long as they want .
The result is a decrease in the quality of life for many especially for those who live South of 466A . Take a drive around the various Villages in this newly developed area and you will see exactly what I am referring to .
Drop into any Adult only Pool and you will see in action the attitude " this rule does not apply to my family ". and on and on it goes .

de·ri·sive
dəˈrīsiv/
adjective
expressing contempt or ridicule.

You insult 40% maybe even 50% of the people who live here and call them derisive.

They're like that because they HAVE to be like that to survive in the rat cage that is a city. People weren't meant to live like that, it changes you.

What insult were you referring to? If a poster makes an observation, is that considered "derisive" or descriptive? Is an honest observation, NOT PC?
