Serious concerns expressed above by this new poster.......
I read both posts with total understanding of what she was trying to convey. As we all age, at some time or another, everyone will confront problems of mobility, or perhaps an unexpected medical emergency..........in a retirement community of oldsters (or I used to assume they were all old people like us), ease of access to all venues , along with handicapped parking,
should be a top priority.
Anytime a place gets too big, the little things , the important things,
get lost along the way.
Hopefully, all turned out well for the injured individual, as the ambulance did seem to arrive in an expedient manner.
To the original poster, I knew what you meant to convey........
We too, have been weighing apples vs. oranges, such as the desirability of a much smaller community on the oceanfront which has all of the services one would desire, plus less crowded conditions with lower population.......vs. the original dream of The Villages as a retirement destination. Perhaps we waited too long and are already too old. Que sera sera.......
To begin I suggest you go and reread post #12.
You have jumped to conclusions on both instances.
We do not know the full story regarding the AED issue. To find fault with the whole villages is wrong at this point. There is a very active AED program with many in place and more on the way. Did you know that? See post 25.
The issue of
handicapped parking spaces has been brought before on TOTV and issue was responded to by the District Manager. The result was the law has been followed. Did you know that? What makes you think it is not a high priority?
Important things getting lost...........based on what?
It is easy to judge from afar with little first hand knowledge.

Senior Citizen DID NOT say what you attribute that quote to.
