Or is this another attempt to deflect to some other conversation by making a wildly unrelated statement about the entire coountry? This is about the villages only. A retirement community of mostly older people and lots of visitors who are generally unaware of the dangers posed by doing routine things such as walking on designated pathways.

What dangers are those (with actual examples please)?
Anecdotal evidence: Villagers complain about everything from "chemtrails" in the sky to people just standing in the dancing areas of the squares. There have certainly been a number of complaints about golf carts endangering bicyclists and bicyclist endangering pedestrians. What I cannot remember ever seeing was a post about alligators endangering anyone on the trails. This doesn't prove a negative but since the locals are so quick to provide evidence, the lack thereof is telling.
