We do not have to get into percentages because you can use them anyway you want.

The Villages is great but just like everywhere there are rotten apples and rotten situations.

It is very easy to meet your street neighbors before buying to prevent living next door to problems.

And how exactly do you know this? You go on to say that you won't bother with percentages. I doubt that there are any statistics kept so I doubt that anyone can come up with actual percentages.

But this is exactly what I was talking about in my last post. People post things like this with no facts to back them up.

Like I say, from looking a the online news daily, I get the impression that people over 55 cause as much trouble as younger people. Another thing that I notice is that many of the younger people who do get in trouble are not Villages residents, but live in surrounding communities such as Lady Lake, Summerfield and Wildwood.

I honestly believe that is a myth that we have a huge problem with young people running amok and causing all kinds of problems.
