Nothing would be better than for my concerns to be absolutely wrong and I would cheer they are. Unfortunately that goes against some of the alleged facts???

I'm not the Wildwood defense league, but you have to look at more than just the numbers. Different socio-economic groups handle things differently. It's been my experience that the lower end of the spectrum is actually more likely to tolerate and sometimes actually invite LE's intervention.

I didn't see the paper, not today, not any day. Without seeing it I can venture a guess that there were more than three criminal acts committed in TV during whatever the time span was. I'm pretty sure that there were more than three (two under 55) people driving while impaired or maybe more than three who smacked their wife, maybe more than three took prescription drugs that weren't prescribed for them.

One of the points in this thread was fear about BW being built so close to Wildwood. I'm not afraid. The builder here has a proven track record of success. He is smart, well-heeled and politically connected. I don't see him allowing Wilwood to be a problem. For crying out loud, he could go into petty cash, buy the whole place and in six months people would be flying in from Podunkville to buy a home in the new village of AdiosAmigos.

Have faith.
