I am tired of the petty theft of bikes, and tipped over trash cans, and smashed in mailboxes from mailbox baseball. I want away from "strafing" where kids on bikes race at you as fast as possible and then lock their brakes spraying gravel. There is nothing you can do but hide inside, as they don't "hurt" you. Police do nothing. I am tired of my sweet peas trellis' being torn down because the kids jump them, and of trying to go shopping when some millennial shoves past me and mutters "old biach" or something worse. I have a recumbent bike I am getting rid of because when I rode it, the millennials wanted to try it. I said no because it was to exercise my leg and I had no insurance. The next day I came home from work and all 3 tires were slashed.
You may love your kids/grandkids but they don't act the same when they are outside your watchful eye. I want to live some place I feel safe, with people who understand when I speak and who don't use the F word as an adjective, subject, verb, adverb and predicate all in the same sentence.
I'm sorry I don't want to be around your kids, but why would you move to an over 55 community and hurt other people by bringing them? Just move to a normal neighborhood where your kids fit in.

Everyone sees 55+ and assumes that means 55+ ONLY. That is not the case here in The Villages. There are a lot of under 55 living here. Not just living with a parent, but a many under 55 year olds own and live here. It is not a "retirement" community. It is a deed restricted community that allows permanent residence to anyone over 18 and up to 20% of the homes can be owned by under 55 YO people.
