A problem unique to The Villages, and perhaps Florida in general, is that so many homes sit empty for months on end, especially during the hot, hotter and hottest months of the year. Sure, people check on them now and then but empty dwellings attract homeless and other undesirables. Also many of the people who reside here are over 70 years of age and likely more vulnerable in a multitude of ways than they were in their young days. If the criminal homeless get a foothold here Katy bar the door.
