This is why the dozens of effective neighborhood AED groups have been formed, and why the survival rate here in TV is much higher than anywhere else!

I would like to respond to your comments on "...residents too cheap". If someone specifically made that statement to you, then respond to that person. Don't lump in others. tbere are recent widows who are scared to death they can't afford to live here. Not cheap. Scared. There are grandparents who have had to take on the task of raising grandchildren because of family dynamics. There are recent retirees who are earning to balance miney in and money out. There are people who were just diagnosed with a disease and they don't know what tbe cost will do to their budget. There are many reasons why people can't pay. How dare you suggest it is cheapness on their part. Sometimes it us, but your generalization is highly offensive. Again, if someone tells you they are too cheap, grow some and discuss it face to face. Don't generalize and profile others into that category.
