The demographic reality is more and more 55 and over people are single/divorced/widowed and remaining so (another baby boomer trend?).

This pass issue has been and continues to be a primary concern for me as a potential single Villager. As it stands, singles are subsidizing the two or more folks households because the amenities fees are paid on a per household basis rather than a per person basis.

I like the previously proposed idea of having a pass that allows single resident Villagers to bring outside dates to Villagers only facilities and events. These passes could be restricted to "only when accompanies by the identified single Villager".
Yes Joe, thank you for bringing this issue up since I was not aware of which will very much change my TV retirement plans

I was widowed in my 40s and have been in a 12 year live in relationship with my partner, and for financial reasons we likely will not legally marry. I own my current home outright, and my plan when the time came was to sell it and purchase a home in TV with only my name on the deed for which my partner does not want to be on it anyway. I am not here to debate the TV rules, but glad to be made aware of this rule so now we can focus on alternate retirement plans.
