I never understood why some of my neighbors (everyone in TV is my neighbor) are so upset by this. OK. None of us knew the details of the 55+ restriction when we came here. Nor did we even think to look into it. Most or all of us thought that we would see only people in their late 50's and up. In other words, we thought that 55+ meant ONLY 55+. But, surprise, that is not what it means. I for one shrug my shoulders and consider it another of a million details in life that has not had a negative affect on me.

As far as the crimes committed by the so called "loser" children of residents, seems to me that most of them are drug possession and DWI. No different than many of the 55+ arrests.

Excellent sane post. Mark me as your fan. Gracie.
