We are a community of close to 150,000 residents. That's the size of many small cities up north. And like those cities, we have some crime. But the crime rate here is close to the lowest in the US. The Villages is one of the safest communities in the world.
As far as the under 55 group causing all the trouble, all one has to do is look at the online news and you'll see that people over the age of 55 cause as many problems as the younger folks.
I think that some of us may have the impression that all of the trouble here in The Villages is caused by those under 55 and renters is caused by the number of people that post something every time someone in these categories is caught breaking the law. Like I say. if you look, you'll find that there are just as many older people causing what very little trouble we have.
