Or could it be that there is just more reporting on it. The online news seems to only report on the negative. There probably was no online blog about crime 12 years ago.
It's the same reason that the country is so divided. We now have a 24 hour news cycle and it's mostly negative. More of us are online looking at blogs and websites that look to divide us.
I'm guessing that not much has changed nationally or here in The Villages. We weren't seeing the bad so we thought everything was perfect. And as has been pointed out it much better than it was where from many of us came.
