World’s Most Infamous Retirement Community (The Villages, Florida)

12 Comments

  • If your “heaven on Earth” is expensive, caucasian, conservative, suburban living, and you want little to do with your kids and grandkids, you can spend their inheritance here. Hospitals and hospice care is well hidden. There is a reason that there are over a dozen funeral homes in the villages.

  • Was in Florida for work 2 years ago and the owner of my company had us over to see her retirement/vacation home. Super creepy Truman show vibes. Couldn’t wait to get out of there.

  • I skipped through this video i’m not going to lie. Mostly because I don’t need to watch this video to know shit about “The Villages”. I worked in the villages for 3 years in a number of different industries.

    Here’s the FACTS

    95% of the population of the villages is white.

    Villagers have no regard for the well being or continued existence of the communities that surround and SUPPORT them.

    Villagers largely provide nothing to the community and are a huge drain on local resources and infrastructure.

    Oh yeah did I mention that the Villagers are largely (80%+) pro-Trump, racist, scum sucking…. honestly I could go on all day about how much these people SUCK.

    They are a large group of overly wealthy, ignorant fuck heads.

    It may be the only place in the entire world that I would be fine if it was nuked off the face of the earth.

    TBF the STD’s thing is largely overstated most of these scum sucking pieces of shit can’t get it up with or without Viagra.

    Ninja Edit: Also the entire community is like some weird Tim Burton esque movie set. The houses are all exact copies of each other. That is not a joke, they legit just kept building the same house over and over again in a number of the villages.

  • This just *feels* like pro-Villages propaganda. First, the video is titled “Infamous,” but he only scratches the surface of a single rumor (very Conservative) for about 30 seconds, and doesn’t address anything other commenters in this thread have pointed out. At 38:30, he even admits this “is a puff piece.”

    Secondly, in 45 minutes, he only interviews *four* residents for net < 4 minutes (not counting the KY Derby party – that’s just jokes about the game), e.g. we hear virtually *nothing* from the people who live there about what it’s actually *like* to live there. You might raise an eyebrow if you found a video that said, “learn what it’s like to live in this semi-isolated and intriguing community” – let’s say Maui – and less than 9% of the video actually *talks with local people* sharing their experience/perspective, and instead it’s mostly who appears to be the public relations director’s talking points.
