    What a great idea to interview folks that actually live here and find out how they feel about The Villages. I hope you do this again with people who have lived here a little longer. Personally I have met people that have lived here 15 or more years and thay still love it! I wave at everyone whether they wave back or not. It doesn't matter. I loved both videos. I find that even though The Villages is quite large, I still have the feeling of living in a small quiet town. I think it's because of the individual villages. We're spread out in area, but still have a feeling we're all together as one. After all we're all Villagers!! Anyone else have that feeling or am I missing a few? 😊❤ Great videos Jerry and Linda!

    Hey Jerry, Linda and Gizmo. Oh yess. Part 2 as promised. Wow. A lot of newcomers. What a Christmas present to themselves moving to the Villages on Christmas Day. I’m like the 1st gal. If I have a pool in my backyard; that’s my favorite place. Everything else a bonus. Agreed. Would feel safer from hurricanes 🌀 more inland. I’ll a pool person. When visitors come we’ll just drive 30 minutes to the beach. Nowhere to live is too big as long as it’s clean and there’s ample parking. Like the answer by car not a problem. By golf cart a challenge. 😂. As long as new shopping is developed to handle new communities. Whenever we visit Florida; most folks seem friendly than some in NY. Great part 2. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend and see you next video. 🤩🤗

    People coming now have no experience of what TV was 10, 20+ yrs ago. My parents bought in 96. I have seen this place explode with positive and negative expansion. Moved here 2 yrs.ago myself.
    I used to walk on the cart path on Morse with my Walkman on and rarely came across any carts!!
    Carts were not allowed out after dark according to my 88 yr old neighbor. 466 was a 2 lane road with no lights, just cows.

    We're visiting The Villages this month and considering a move. We previously lived in a golf cart community in South Carolina. In our former community, when driving about in your cart, it was customary to exchange a wave with other cart drivers, bicyclists, and walkers. It was a friendly gesture that served to promote a sense of community. While driving the multi-modal trails here in The Villages, I've exchanged only a few waves with other drivers. Reflexively, based on my previous experience, I've initiated many waves but received few returns. I have found that walkers and bicyclists are routinely happy to exchange waves. Is there a standard protocol; or expectation for exchanging waves between cart drivers here in the Villages?

    • @JERRYANDLINDA
      @JERRYANDLINDA  Год назад +1

      We have found that although everyone is friendly, they are very focused when driving. Keeping both hands on the wheel and concentrating on what they are doing.

      @THE VILLAGES FLORIDA NEWCOMERS I don't live there, but I've worked there for the last decade and have seen all manner of growth and behind the scenes in terms of the rising cost and the caliber of people that do live there, let's just say it's not for me and I would rather live in the woods without the nosy neighbors and rude people and traffic but to each their own. I'm glad that the influx of people do give local people jobs though
