Regardless of my appearance, I am retired Villages homeowner. That said, I am tired of the constant queries. I bought here as a retiree due to the high resale value and the high neighborhood upkeep. My property has increasing value and I aim to maintain this; so, seriously, why the age bias?

Very well said Lynn22.......and it pretty much says it all....A lot of us older folks are also combat war veterans too because of a little thing called the draft and the Vietnam War, not as a career volunteer....I for one served 4 full years with no benefits now, but then also worked another 36 years too paying lots of taxes and SSI to make it to retirement. Not to worry floridanative17 when you get older the ID checks will stop....sounds like no age bias to me, just the opposite that we want to be treated like we are ?? maybe a little special. I for one was already in the service while you were still in diapers...so we do look a bit older since we actually are, be thankful you look your age and try to Have A Happy day!
