Remember, The Villages is not a gated community but a community with gates. On any given day at any time of the day anyone from outside the villages has full access to every road every street every business and all the town squares. If for some reason a person or persons with Less than honorable intentions approach a gate at 3 AM in one of our villages and you do not live in the villages you simply press the red button the gate goes up and you enter. The 20% of the villages that have gate attendants are not allowed to ask you what your businesses is and are not allowed to stop you from entering any village at any time of the day or night. Also keep in mind that many of our seniors who live here in the villages are allowing their grand children and children to live with them. Everything I mentioned above including a community future population with over 200,000 people is bound to see a significant increase in crime and traffic. Go to On Top of the World, Dell Web, Margaritaville, or Stone Crest. Try entering the property without authorization and see what happens. You will not only be stopped but you will be asked to leave. I’m just saying.

This is just me but the ones that I knew that moved from TV said this was the biggest reason why they moved. People now already say they can’t get a decent Tee Time or do anything without being so crowded. If you think 200,000 would be to many people, try where we moved to Dallas/Ft.Worth there’s millions that’s just in these 2 cities not counting the cities surrounding them, Justin, Argyle, Bartonville, Flower Mound, ect. ect. This adds another million or 2 & if this isn’t big enough try Houston it’s 8 to 10 million. Yea, TV is getting big but If I had a choice I would like to be back in TV! So if TV is getting to big for anyone, nobody put a ball & chain around your leg. Believe me there’s worse places to live. I
like Dallas/Ft. Worth area because people basically are nice & you don’t have to worry about someone robbing or beating you up because just about everyone here carry’s some kind of protection. People here I really think they would jump in & help you. Not real sure about TV.
