It would be nice if people would bother to read the Orlando Sentinal article more carefully. It states "central Florida, where The Villages and other retirement communities sprawl....." It's about
ALL retirement communities in central Florida.
And it's about a trend: Just like saying there are more and more cases of heart disease and/or cancer.
What would one expect when all of the retirement communities advertise that they are "active adult communities".
The bottom line: The Villages is no better or worse than any other central Florida retirement community.
