In the Villages, USF Health partnership fills missing piece | Tampa Bay Times
Thanks for providing the link. It certainly was a flattering article. It couldn't have been any more flattering than if it had been written by the developer/U.S.F. partnership. It practically had all the (PR) elements that we have been getting weekly from The Daily Sun. Perfect!

One statement that got my attention was the following, by Dr. Donna Peterson, dean of U.S.F.'s College of Public Health: She said, "The level of cohesion in this community is through the roof." Well, that's wonderful! But she didn't state in what regard. At this point you can fill in your own questions. For example, if the level of cohesion is through the roof, why did only about 1/3 of residents participate in the survey? Why, if I start asking more questions, will other residents attack me personally?
