Nope. You assume because I, and thousands of others moved here to be in and over 55 community, and am eager to keep it that way that I'm motivated by hate. I'm motivated by wanting to live in an over 55 community and keep it that way. It is one of the main reasons I, and thousands of others bought here.

My questions were- questions. Questions based on what I see teenagers doing in my hometown in Mass. I assume these behaviors are happening in countless other communities around the country. Question my signature is you wish, but I believe part of "Life in the Bubble" will be much less desirable if when we look around it looks like the home towns we came here to escape.

BTW: My signature is aimed at people in this forum who call other users Trolls, and announce that questions are "useless" and accuse other members of lacking intelligence. Page one of The Forum tells us people who do that will be banned but it is clear it is tolerated every day.

They are going to be building so far south that she said Brownwood would then be the CENTER of The Villages!!!! They are building a home in 45 days or less, believe it or not, so you can imagine the quality (not) that is there. This will take until estimated 2030 to 2032. Very disappointing facts to hear.

My understanding is that Middleton will include family housing and age restricted housing. Those that don't want to be around kids, just won't purchase a house there. It looks awesome.

Sorry if this has been covered. I just saw a video showing the enormous schools being built- then the narrator said 12,500 family homes will be built. This raised some questions for me:

1) How many people are employed by TV, and can all afford a home- requiring 12,500 homes?

2) 12,500 homes have the potential to house +- 25,000 children and teens. Will our cart and walking paths be shared by skateboarders and groups of congregating teens?

3) Will our Family Pools be inundated with 12,500 families and children?

4) When we're dancing in the squares will we have teens with green hair and pierced faces mocking us?

(Yes. I intentionally added the stereotypes to the last question)

Should I assume policies will be in place to keep our retirement community a mostly senior environment?

Young people mock the old because the old are mindless and vapid (aka, old fashion). It has always been this way but now the young have the internet :)

You are proving the point that your signature needs to change as you are lacking in intelligence in your comments. From your beliefs you are definitely someone i do not want to know.

As for your 55+ community, it is actually 80% of a 55+ community and they only real thing in writing is it is a 19+ year old community as anyone 19 or older can live here. Best if you had checked on things before moving here.
