Agree. I've been to The Villages (it's actually closer to Ocala than Orlando). Quiet and unassuming place, but with TONS of shops.
The author went looking for a place to fit his already decided upon story. What better place to bash than a conservative community in a conservative state?
Writer’s gotta write...and no one is interested in stories about folks going to church, going shopping, or going out to eat.
Been to the villages too. Great people and nice place to retire. Very few Democrat scum there.
As I said in my OP my Aunt and Uncle have lived there for many years. We've stayed there with them a few times. We go swimming in one of their gazillion pools. My Uncle keeps stats for one of their golf leagues. My Aunt used to be a town council member and was active in the Republican party there. It's a lovely place to retire and this is nothing but a hit piece.
