Our Detroit Newpaper didn’t report break ins, fires, accidents.

Robbery at gunpoint, Leo involved shooting, and what the governor did today. So Sun is very close to a newspaper that had with 100 times more subscribers.

10 to 15 people will be shot/killed in Philadelphia.
20 to 25 cars will be stolen
Probably 15 car jacking
I bet 100 houses are broken into
ALL THIS WEEKEND

The Philadelphia Inquirer will not cover any of it, the news reports might cover 1 or 2, maybe.

You have to be careful what gang you join, the "insane Vice Lords" of Hemingway have an on going war over turf with the " Gangster Disciples" of Bridgeport

You must be from Chicago with your people and folks lingo. Throw some lk's into the mix too.

I have tried and can't come up with a single way that my life is affected by a lack of accident reporting.

And how should this matter?

So many people have no clue about what happens here.

This "gated community" is a joke. Any Tom, Dick, or Jane can walk right in anytime they want.

What would it take (and cost) to make it a real gated community, and would it help ?

Not possible. The roads/streets in The Villages are PUBLIC.

You're right, so many people have no clue.

And he’s been on TOTV since June 2021…..how many times since then has it been posted “public roads “ .

I have had the good fortune to live in 10 different states during the course of my life, and I can honestly say I've never felt safer than here in TV. There's nothing in our deed restrictions that can 'force' you to read the 'Daily Sun' newspaper-and yes, it's happy talk, but hell, it's what I want at this stage of my life. If I want to get the 'alternative' view, I can use the APP for the '**************' which will tell me which whiskey crazed old geezer attempted to cheat his aunt's cousin's mother out of her make-up money and is being sought for questioning. We each wake up every day and make a decision about whether to look for gloom and doom or not. I choose 'not'.

So many gangs and such little time.
Remember when Hells Angels use to be the gangs to fear.

If The Villages"cover-up" all the crime, how do you know about it? Or are you just "assuming" because you have an ax to grind?

Exactly! Well said.

We actually like the DS. But we're half glass full people, and we like to focus on the positive things in life.
We can get the hard/bad news other places.
So if that's your thing, here's a good place to start for the OP. Villages news.com

What is your evidence ?

I'm at that stage where the question "Where are we retiring" looms larger with each day. My wife recently accompanied a friend on a week-long orientation visit to TV and was mostly favorably impressed. There ARE some "downs" that go along with all the "ups" and we're discussing those - but crime is NOT one of them. If you look at actual reported crime statistics (and not depend on whatever news outlet that may have whatever bias - they can go both ways) it's pretty clear that crime is HARDLY a problem.

I don't want to get political here, but I can certainly agree with people that I'd often disagree with when the actual FACTS are out there. Look them up and you see. Crime is hardly a problem. (Ok, I suppose that can be influence by where you come from)
