Far too often in the past say 5 years people with very liberal outlooks arrive as new residents of the Villages .
As soon as they unpack they begin to complain about anything and everything.
Their solution is to get the rules changed to accommodate their belief system. And they will complain and campaign over every single thing that annoys their fragile sensitivities .
When I moved here nearly 10 years ago this community had a decidedly
" Mid- Western " flavor . It was characterized with a simple " live and let live "
philosophy . However homeowners actually read the Deed Restrictions and more importantly they observed them .
In the past few years and more so the past 24 months there has been a large influx of newly retired who claim that they came here to escape " Megaglopolis " and everything that went with it .
However within a very short time of their arrival they seem to discover that they don`t like the Deed Restrictions so they simply ignore them .
They demand new rules be created to obviate anything and everything that annoys them w/out regard for the fact that the rule in question has served the Majority just fine for many , many years .
Then they start in with their " politics " and they are determined to shout-down everyone who may not agree with them by using angry and vile language and personal insults .
I suggest to them that none of us have enough years remaining to spend them attempting to remold the culture here to something like say " Queens , NY or say Jersey City , New Jersey .
If you can`t afford to leave please go to the site called " Kick Starter " and post your need . Then inform us that you have done so and I am certain that those of us who long for when this community enjoyed a more Mid-Western culture will be very generous in out financial support to assist you with your move back North .
