I just looked at it and it must include the poverty and crime in lady lake and wildwood.

I know that I for one am stressed every morning when I get up and have to decide what I want to play today. As opposed to the previous forty years when I did not have to make any decision. Just knew I had to go to work no matter what.

I just knew that dog poop, round-abouts, "speeding" golf carts, non-use of turn signals, and chair saving would eventually get to us all!!:popcorn:

OP, don't get stressed out over this report because The Developer and his staff of lawyers will handle this issue for you. Carry on. Fore.

Obviously much research was done prior to publishing these results. The Huffington Post is the source I will now go to for accurate information. :bigbow:

Statistics can be manipulated, anyway a person wants something to look like. IMHO

I don't put much faith into some findings especially health and food studies. Again, they can be slanted towards the view, the writer wants to take.

2B, I like your friends analogy. I doubt any of TOTV posters are going to loose any sleep over this report.

After carefully considering Detroit, East St. Louis, Chicago, Harlem, Baltimore, and south central LA as the place we will retire to and enjoy the rest of our lives, we opted for The Villages. I didn't realize the last six years were so miserable. On to Rio I guess...

7 of the 10 most stressed out cities are in Texas.

Looks like they are overworked and under paid.

Top 10 Most Stressed-Out Cities

Must be talking to Andrew Blechman. Andrew D. Blechman - author of LEISUREVILLE and PIGEONS

I cannot get the reasoning for this? Too many people on the golf courses at once? Cannot find a seat at Bonefish Grill? Yankees losing? Patriots winning? Overdue library book?

Just a thought but seems to me more & more of The Villages geriatric population are arming themselves. I don't know about you but this is stressing me out.

Can you please share what specifically led you to that conclusion?

Right on the money. Makes me wonder…..
Who did they poll/interview? "Stand your ground" seat savers at the Market square concerts around happy hour?

I really thought I was having the best time of my life. Thank goodness the smart folks in the DC Beltway can set me right… :(

The Huffington Post is setting the stage for their suggestion that we would all benefit if Section 8 Housing was forced into each zip code of the Villages .

Most of these already were armed except maybe for the woman I know who heard a noise near her closet and shot her vacuum cleaner. I guess she had not put it away right. And she had a loaded revolver near her night stand.

Just must have thought she was a Soprano or Corleone.

The Huffington Post made a suggestion about us benefitting from Section 8 housing? How did you arrive at that? Hope it's not wishful thinking.
