He wrote this stuff because of his philosophical belief. He believes it is the older generations place to stay at home near the children and grandchildren to support them and teach them all they have learned in their lives. As such, his views are skewed against any and all age restricted developments geared towards the 55 and over population. So he just made stuff up to besmirch the largest age restricted development on the planet. Unfortunately, with the internet etc, once a "truth" makes it out there it is very hard to convince people otherwise. I thought I had read at one time he apologized for this but I can't find it anywhere. The only trouble I have with this is that my wife's elderly, jealous aunts and uncles are all too eager to believe this malarkey and make snide comments to her. I really couldn't care less what others say or think. I just smile at them and invite them to stay with us when they come to Florida after we move.
