People from all over the country will be flying to Florida and converging on the 55 plus community that has been relatively safe during the slow season, where the older and more vulnerable full time residents generally take appropriate precautions. Despite this, starting next week the town squares will go back to business as usual, like the pandemic doesn’t even exist, WTF?

Could there possibly be a worse time to decide to open everything back up? I get that the powers that be need to sell all the houses they are cranking out, and it’s hard to sell houses without being able to showcase the Villages experience. But this could backfire in a big way if the Villages Covid numbers spike, which they most likely will. Not only that, but all the new houses they are trying to sell will have to compete with all the new pre-owned homes that will go on the market vacated by unfortunate Covid victims.

OK, all the Covid deniers, let me have it, I can deal with it.
Thats the way they do things here BACKWARDS...... This week the storm was here Tues/Wed VCDD sends a email Wed afternoon saying Rec activities, gates courts etc will be closed from 11am.... too late...

Many who have been here for 10 years or more, know that the "whole idea" of this community and the control of it has totally got away from the Owners. Now only $$$$$$$$$$$$ matters, facilities are less, maintenance is poor in the older parts, and so it theVillages care.
