In my humble opinion: The Villages is a "gated community"-as evidenced by the gates that are privately controlled across our public roads.
Doubt that? When you push the gate buttons, the person answering the button says, "Welcome to the Villages." Nice advertisement gimmick for The Village developer.
It just seems to me that when a citizen sees something that is so egregiously against public policy(see Florida Statutes, Section 316.0745) then they should speak up. And that goes for something that has "always been that way."
