I don't think that comparing The Villages to a big city is fair. We don't have all the offices and businesses that big cities have. We have a much higher percentage of residential acreage than most cities do.
It's is a huge exaggeration to say that we have all of the same problems of crime and poverty that big cities have.
Is the place paradise, God's Little Acre, nirvana? of course not, but it is one of the finest and safest residential communities in this country.
Is the zero crime and zero problems? Is the weather perfect 365 days a year? I don't think that anyone believes that. Sometimes it rains and sometimes the temperature goes into the 30s. Very seldom do people get robbed murdered, raped or their houses broken into.
I think that most of us love it here and wouldn't live anywhere else. I think that most of us feel that the Villages is very safe, very low crime area and the weather is nice most of the time.
