I see no conflict here. The Villages is, if not the safest, then certainly one of the safest towns in the country.

That does not mean that there is no crime. We still need to be aware.

I just don't think we need to feel the same as people that live in the inner cities of Detroit, Miami and other high crime areas.

Crime does happen here it just happens much less than other places. Unless you want to completely fortify your house and never go out there is always a risk of being the victim of some sort of crime. The odds are simply a lot lower here. How much of a chance you take is up to you.

Do you want to spend money on a monitored home security system? That depends on how much they cost and what you think are the chances of your home getting burglarized. Everyone gets to make their own decisions on these matters.
