Boston.com - The Villages, in Florida, is the largest gated retirement development in the world – or, put another way, a giant playpen for people 55 and older. It consists of 75,000 people who have freed themselves from the obligations of citizenship in order to exercise the privilege of absolute consumerism. ”For me it was love at first sight….. I can only equate it to the movie The Stepford Wives. Everyone has a smile on their face like it’s too good to be true. But it really is.”
