We can discuss any number of things but this thread is about the use of (or preventing use of) Villages facilities.

And yes, I would be completely comfortable with that situation. It would be odd since our pool is rarely empty, I would likely be with her, and I haven't seen a teenager in the area in quite a while, but I would be comfortable.

One might wonder where that example of 4 teenage males in a neighborhood pool came from (other than the same thought process that somehow connected the topic of facilities with food prices). I don't believe any of the comments on here mentioned 4 teenage males in a neighborhood pool happening. She and I *have* discussed the situation mentioned in this thread, workers using the restroom, and we both agree this concern says more about the fearful woman than it does about the use of the restrooms.
