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.

I agree with EVERY PROBLEM outlined here. I would humbly suggest that the Community Patrol have more TEETH in their role as "peacekeepers" - and have night vision cameras mounted on their roofs and images sent back to A.I. recognition screens at a central headquarters that could dispatch serious law enforcing squads when an investigation is WARRANTED. Also, drone cameras would help. There IS something about public roads that prevent TV Land from REALLY having ANY gate security. Why waste money on human gate guards that just smile and wave. They could easily be replaced with an information machine set up at major gate entrances. And PLEASE change the Community watch to something that works - crime IS RAMPANT in TV Town! And with blue-collar jobs leaving the US, the blue-collar workers will be forced into becoming criminals. AND TV Land is SURROUNDED surrounded by BELLIGERANTS! Good luck!
