So I personally won't use I am safer in The Villages because it indicates denial on safety in my mind

Whenever someone mentions the Daily Sun sure to follow is discussion of the Developer. Frankly I don't care who owns or operates the paper but I do care if it does not carry pertinent and relevant news. I know that those terms mean different things to different people. However, given limited space in a newspaper one would believe that people robbed at a town square would take precedence over an announcement of a resident's long lived hobby.

So I guess it comes down to are you a reader who has now settled into a life that prefers to read about social events rather than hard hitting news economic and political goings on, etc.
I would really be interested in knowing what other communities of similar resident size (around 100,000) are substantially safer than The Villages.

People know that the 3rd page of Local in the Sun is the place to find the lead stories about what is happening newsworthy in The Villages.

However, please tell me what communities of similar size are substantially safer than The Villages.
