Some of you are debunking the messenger, but the message has merit. The more people that come to The Villages, the more service workers and professionals will be needed. These labor needs are not absorbed by retirees looking to supplement their income.
Where will they come from if wages stay low? I'm not sure where they will come from if we see a wage increase. When the Villages was smaller, the situation could be controlled. When the quality labor supply is consumed, you have to go outside and attract in new resources. How is that going to be achieved? If you think it is not your problem, then you better be prepared for more lack of service quality, general lack of service, and an increase in crime.
For those complaining about the Sentinal, take a look around for yourself. Read the complaints on this board. Talk to the workers.
If you want to ignore it, we will just need to agree to disagree and we can readdress the situation in three years. We will see which view is more accurate.
