He followed one car and filmed his own speedometer to prove that excessive speeding was going on. I have seen Villagers involved in 3 fights in my 10 years here. One I helped break up at a basketball game. That is probably less than I have seen in mixed neighborhoods. Since coming to The Villages, I have encountered some abrasive and pushy males, which i would have probably wanted to fight with IF I was sixteen years old. I have also encountered some self-absorbed know-it-alls with superiority complexes. But, I guess those are everywhere and come in ALL ages.
.........The author of this piece seemed to want to PROVE that mixed age neighborhoods are better and safer than over 55 neighborhoods. His case could have been better made if he had actual statistics to back up his claim. But, how could you get comparable neighborhoods to make that comparison?
.........Overall, I don't think that he made a good case for showcasing the negatives of living in The Villages. I can think of some negatives that he missed. But, he did pick up on one of the top negatives.............speeding and bad aggressive driving.

He was driving 70mph on Buena Vista. He ran two stop signs. He drove his scooter up the Publix's front door. I feel like he shouldn't be criticizing anyone else's driving.
