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.
A further question would be; what would you have done differently if the robbery was reported on Dec 2.
Should we all not be aware of our surroundings, note unusual happenings, etc.?
If you are waiting for a newspaper, radio or TV to tell you to wake up and be ready................its probably too late.
For me, I get enough of the killings, shootings and robberies on the TV at 6 & 11.
