I used to be on a Olympic prep swim team and learned:
1). One can swim WITHOUT swim lanes and we typically had MULTIPLE swimmers in each lane, self divided by speed. If one is in the fastest lane and gets swam over, they automatically moved to the next lane that was for swimmers that are a little slower.
2). Put the lane lines in yourself. It’s not hard and you can consider it your “volunteer opportunity” to give back!!
I just can’t fathom the amount of time and NEGATIVE energy Villagers invest in bad mouthing The Villages and The Developers. All other community, whether 55+ or all ages, don’t come close to what The Villages has to offer.
And just a few example of how much The Developer cares and loves the Villagers:
1). The Developer made a commitment to make sure there is a fire station within 2 miles of every Villager- they built the stations paid OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS.
2). The Developer soooo wants Villagers to have the BEST experience and HAPPIEST/HEALTHIEST retirement - they invested with their own money - a charter school system and building a 2nd one- PLUS a new Village like Support Community to attract the best business owners and employees to serve US!!!
3). The Developer didn’t layoff or fire any employee during the “election infection”PLANNEDemic. They not only kept everyone, paid everyone and provided health insurance, retirement benefits, THEY HIRED EVEN MORE PEOPLE - built homes, amenities and did maintenance over the last 2+ years when MOST other businesses- laid off, cut hours, pulled back or STOPPED. The Developer took all the risk and ALL OF US BENEFITED- The Developer not only helped Villagers but the surrounding communities (restaurants, housekeepers, landscapers so their employees could pay their rents or buy homes, feed their families) and all over the country and world- suppliers of windows, appliances, building equipment, plumbing supplies, etc.
I could go on and on about how wonderful The Villages and The Developers are. PERFECT - no… but as a mature ADULT with common sense- I know no place or person is perfect.
