When I purchased here 5 years ago I was led to believe that The Villages was a gated community. I was not lied to, I just failed to ask my agent, who I'm sure was told not to offer this information. I found out during my orientation shortly after I moved in. By then it was too late to change my mind and the developer wasn't about to refund my money.

Since visitors had to go through the gates where the Gatekeepers were I felt a little more secure. However, after the Sumter County good ol boys decided all gates had to remain open to everyone, I felt like I had been taken advantage of.

Why do we need to be paying Gatekeepers in Sumter & Lake counties?? :dontknow: I don't need them to give me directions and if I invite someone over I can supply the directions. Don't get me wrong I don't have anything against gate keepers but why not put them in the area pools as monitors.

Our money should be spent on something useful.
