A lift from a post above "... a relative youngster by TV standards...." begs the question.....and just what might those standards of OLD be here in TV?????
Too bad some will miss out on some very nice places to live in TV because of the need for the "younger" specification.
As far as the newer built areas having "younger" residents......Yup those of us who retired sometime yester year are in deed older than those retiring now. And that would mean the folks looking to buy/build in TV currently must be "younger" than those of us who already live here....duh.
And I now wonder what those who are "older" than those of us already here and looking to buy/build in TV ask? Do you think they want to know where the "older" folks live.
I know the horse is beaten and dead. But there are those of us who are old and know it and don't know it and it doesn't matter because of who we are and how we act. Then there are those, apparently, who are old and may feel a need to separate themselves from the "old" because they are and are just fighting/denying the fact they too are well ......"old".
All find out soon enough that age is nothing more than a number on a piece of paper that allows laws/rules to govern (or not) by. Eventually as one becomes a resident of TV one soon discovers "age" is indistinguishable.....a relative concept that has absolutely no impact on the behavior, attitude, capability or demeanor of an individual.
I am in my 70's and I still complain about the old farts who are in my way or going to slow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This post is well said and shows the writer to be ageless, a thinker, a person with a sense of humor and completely in agreement with what I believe.
Trapped inside of everyone of us that lives here in The Villages, the young-old and the old-old, is a 17 year old still alive and well and that 17 year old may still have a bit of an attitude about being summarily dismissed because of age.
And I love this line..
Age and treachery will beat youth and exuberance at every turn.
