The police are not just there for criminal offenses, they also enforce local ordinances.

Yes. And a violation of open air fire laws is a misdemeanor. Hence a criminal offense.

I really don't like to read that Villagers are writing posts that make it appear that they think those of us who live inside the borders are different or better than those who don't.

That kinda talk just makes people think we think we are better and convinces them we are snobs and stuffed shirts.

We have a lot of resentment against us and this kinda conversation doesn't help at all. Do you not think that those who are not Villagers read this Forum?

We all put on our pants on one leg at a time.

People just need to remember they are buying homes in the country when they buy here. They just happened to build The Villages in the middle of it.

Before buying here (2010) we looked at several Villages that abutted farms , existing non Villages neighborhoods, etc. Our decision was not to buy on any street that was adjacent to one of these areas. We had lived in homes where the adjoining areas were subject to changes in zoning , more intense development etc. Would the real estate agent give a heads up on these potentials--no.

It appears that too many new buyers in TV do not really understand the full implications and risks inherent in their decisions about the largest financial transaction that they will ever be involved in. Caveat Emptor

Blinded by the lower cost of homes built around the perimeter. If you take the gamble you get a lot more house for the money and a lot of buyers really don't care what goes on behind those walls.
