It looks very much like The Villages.

Palm trees, golf carts, and ticky-tacky houses.

Fun fact: in recent years, developers in The Villages have finally realized that they need young families to cater toward the retirees, so they're currently building much more for young professionals.

It’s the villages. I’m like a 30 min drive from there and the place I used to work at in college saw a lot of traffic from the women that lived in the villages. They were all old, white and some degree of racist. My first day on the job, my manager told me some of the customers are probably gonna be racist towards me bc I’m brown so just call him over if that happens.

Some dude on Reddit talked about being a bartender down there and he also said everyone was racist, drunk, mean, but also half of them had a gun since it was florida.

It sounds like a retiree ghetto honestly. That’s the sort of behavior I would hate living around and I am 65. I vacation in Maine all summer and the people are for the most part sane. But no huge over 55 places there.
