Outsider,

Thanks for your post...it brings an interesting perspective to things. I hope that you will continue to read/monitor this board and chime in when you deem it appropriate. I can't tell what type of employment position you have, but, I would encourage you and other Villages employees to keep an ear on this board. As TOTV goes, so goes The Villages as far as what people are thinking, fearing, appreciating, etc.

As to the future, there are so many bright and talented people living in the Villages that we should expect our local governance to be reasonable, fair, and forward thinking. However, my personal fear is that more contrarians, negativists, or penny pinchers will get involved and we'll be hard-pressed to maintain our current quality of life. To quote BTK, it's up to the silent majority to make sure this doesn't happen and to remain One Villages and not a collection of "me first" individual neighborhoods.

Again, welcome Outsider!!!
