I thought the book was very accurate. The liberal author does not believe in putting old people out to pasture and thinks they should be in the community paying high property taxes to the government. The book distinguishes quite clearly the authors opinion of the villages and that of the village residence. He did a good job in voicing the residents love of the Villages. We don't live in a perfect world where families stay together, the Villages may not be the perfect solution for an ageing population but it's better than anything out there now. I found most people who read the book could not handle the truth about the Villages. There are a lot of negatives here, why not address them and do what we can to change them instead of burying our heads in the sand.
I personally don't like the way we are talked down to by the Morse family with the stupid fabricated history. The truth is much more interesting than the fairy tail.
The villages are being overbuilt and the reason we came here may change for the worst. The new residence will just settle for what they get instead of striving for "the Village" type of community that it once was. That is the problem with older residence, they can't look to the future. The Villages is becoming just one big sprawling suburban city with lots of cubs. Big deal!
