Or is a bubble more like a mythical place where people believe once inside the bubble the world is perfect and no one will do you harm?
I think what happened to your mother happens everyday here because we all have stories of random acts of kindness like yours. Don't you? You have been here longer after a while do you see things differently?

Just a lot more traffic than in 2005. There are also a lot more outside visitors coming to the Villages especially in Brownwood and Spanish Springs Squares.
The various Universities I have been at-- UNR, BYU, the University of Denver, the College of San Mateo, and the University of Minnesota are more like bubbles as it is usually only students, staff, professors and the occasional event attendant on campus. Here in the Villages, we have people coming in from many of the other communities quite often. And, all the workers keeping the Villages pristine as well. You do not see that many workers on college campuses.
