Yes, that is true. I am aware of that, but I did not want to write about it in my post. Personally, I am NOT overjoyed about that rule even existing. I don't remember voting on that rule. And I said that just to make a point. So, no one needs to bother telling me that I don't get a vote because The Villages is a privately owned organization. I AM aware of that. I know one 40-year-old couple that lives here and they are wonderful people. And I understand why they live here.........mainly for the safety, but other advantages. But, I also know of young children that have prison records and have difficulty getting jobs, so they "sponge" off their elderly parents or parent.

Most likely the vast majority of the plus 30 group are wonderful citizens and good neighbors. It is just a situation that I don't understand or see a need to exist. Now, some will say that workers need homes too. To that. I would say that the commuting distances from outside The Village bubble are NOT so great as to deter workers. That is just my opinion.......nothing more.
