I've noticed several incidents of those arrested who reside in TV being over 55 -- I think the oldest I noticed was 82. Most were for DUIs, some for domestic abuse (which truly saddens me), a couple of shoplifters ....

I can't argue that the developer is greedy to the nth degree but this is one I can't blame on him. Many of those arrested under 55 here are much younger -- usually children or even grandchildren over 19 living with TVers because of problems in their past. Sadly, those problems travel with these "youngsters." They don't just go away because they move to TV.

Fortunately, the more serious crimes (other than the occasional shooting of spouses), seem to happen outside of our community. While I know there are drugs in TV, I haven't noticed any narcotic arrests of Villagers. I do wonder how many grow houses exist in TV, though.
