Apparently you did not notice that the Honor Flight story was posted on March 27th while the items you highlighted were posted March 28th. So the Honor Flight story has now had two days of publication.
"Villages Honor Flight returning to the skies with first flight of 2016
March 27, 2016"

Right now, these (below) are the front page headlines appearing BEFORE a story on The Villages HONOR FLIGHT. That paper loves to put this skanky stuff before decent, honorable citizen stories here.......

61-year-old Villager arrested after fight with wife over phone

Man with Oxycodone, crowbar arrested after attempted burglary in The Villages

In wake of attempted burglary in Village of Amelia, sheriff’s office issues tips to stay safe

Woman arrested after kicking another woman out of bed in fight over missed call

Woman arrested after fight with boyfriend at The Quarters Apartments

Villages Honor Flight returning to the skies with first flight of 2016

As Beachbum said, the Honor Flight story ran for two days.
It's good that the online newspaper is by subscription only.
We can opt out at any time so we don't have to read the "skanky stuff".

What if instead of 19, a person had to be 40 to reside in TV? Of course there could be exceptions made for handicapped adult children who cannot live on their own...
Do you think that would make TV better? Cut out some of the crimes related to drug addiction?
Just looking for opinions, not stating one.

spring_chicken: The manner in which you present your question implies that all adult children living in TV are a concern. Further it implies that these adult children are children of TV residents. Still further that they are residents and not renters.

Do you have the exact statistics of: 1) how many adult residents are living with their TV parents? 2) of these, how many of these adult residents have been arrested, etc? 3) compared arrests of any kind to other than adult children of TV residents?

How can you postulate that perhaps TV would be better off if........

In today's America more and more adult children live with their parents all across this nation for myraid reasons economical medical, etc

I could give you a number of ways I believe TV would be better off none of which have anything to do with adult children living here.

By the way I welcome the adult children to this community because I recognize in the vast majority of reasons there is legitimate need vis a vis the stero-typical (dead beats) responses you get from some posters. There is obvious a lot of love and care going on in those homes.

Thank you for bringing this topic to our attention because it appears it does need a breathing .

Personal Best Regards:

TV would be much better off if there was less alcohol consumption by residents of all ages. By far the biggest contributor to the incidence of crime in TV is "daemon rum".--- DUI , Battery etc.

How does the saying go? Oh yeah, Ask a simple question, get a simple answer....

Did you happen to see this line in my post "Just looking for opinions, not stating one."
The entire question was based on the opining on this board about "deadbeat" kids living with parents. I was trying to figure out if that is a common opinion here or a very vocal minority.
Pretty sure I got my answer from the very few responses that actually gave an opinion.

My understanding of the law is that to be categorized as a 55+ community it MUST have at least 80% 55+ residents. The law ALLOWS up to 20% under age 55 to still be categorized as a 55+ community. There is nothing keeping a development from having 100% 55+. It is up to each community and deed restrictions.

[justjim]

We like to be around younger people as they usually make us "feel" younger. OP, 20% can be younger than 55 by law and regardless how we "feel" that is unlikely to change.

BTW, I agree that there is too much alcohol consumed at the squares. I don't particularly care one way or another as long as they are not obnoxious and have a designated driver to take them home. I have very little patience with an obnoxious drunk.

I think that is a disgustingly myopic idea. what's next? muslims, handicapped, ugly people, short people????

Hey, here's an idea, let's make 82.5 the max age and we could reduce the number of medically induced vehicle accidents!

You're right, you can't paint everyone with the same brush, so to speak. Not every person in their 40's is living with their parents because there is something wrong with THEM. I know instances where they are living with their parents in order to take care of their parents.

I think the crime rate in TV is extremely low. I also like seeing younger people out and about. I think some people have a bias when the crime blotter states an age, and the correlation to age, becoming the dominate factor. It seems the little crime we have, is drug related, (including alcohol), and not age related. There are some people who are flat out thieves, trying to scam older people. IMHO

As other people have said, you can't paint everyone with the same broad brush.

Seriously, zero crime rate is unattainable, no matter where one lives.

Raising the minimum age is a very bad idea. It smacks of age discrimination. IMHO

[CritterLover]

It's not an age thing, it's a creep thing. People who are going to be creeps are going to do it, no matter what.

This is correct. The birthdate of absolutely everyone who's ever been here on a Lifestyle Preview Stay or has been issued a Resident ID is in the TV database. Some here grossly underestimate the developers' administrative skill and methods. They don't make the sloppy messes elected public officials do!

Well said. I am stealing that line.
