Rumor has it Del Webb has decided to start a business hiring clipboard ladies to drive around the villages and do their thing.

They want to reduce competition.

There was an article titled "Why Are Young People Moving to The Villages?" in yesterday's Tampa Bay Times. The site also offers it as a "Listen."

I am not able to link it right now, but maybe someone else will find it and do that.

Considering the amount of land The Villages still owns that has not been developed, by the time the future villages are developed our population will be well over 200,000 people. Remember, The Villages is not a gated community but a community with gates. On any given day at any time of the day anyone from outside the villages has full access to every road every street every business and all the town squares. If for some reason a person or persons with Less than honorable intentions approach a gate at 3 AM in one of our villages and you do not live in the villages you simply press the red button the gate goes up and you enter. The 20% of the villages that have gate attendants are not allowed to ask you what your businesses is and are not allowed to stop you from entering any village at any time of the day or night. Also keep in mind that many of our seniors who live here in the villages are allowing their grand children and children to live with them. Everything I mentioned above including a community future population with over 200,000 people is bound to see a significant increase in crime and traffic. Go to On Top of the World, Dell Web, Margaritaville, or Stone Crest. Try entering the property without authorization and see what happens. You will not only be stopped but you will be asked to leave. I’m just saying.

I agree with EVERY PROBLEM outlined here. I would humbly suggest that the Community Patrol have more TEETH in their role as "peacekeepers" - and have night vision cameras mounted on their roofs and images sent back to A.I. recognition screens at a central headquarters that could dispatch serious law enforcing squads when an investigation is WARRANTED. Also, drone cameras would help. There IS something about public roads that prevent TV Land from REALLY having ANY gate security. Why waste money on human gate guards that just smile and wave. They could easily be replaced with an information machine set up at major gate entrances. And PLEASE change the Community watch to something that works - crime IS RAMPANT in TV Town! And with blue-collar jobs leaving the US, the blue-collar workers will be forced into becoming criminals. AND TV Land is SURROUNDED surrounded by BELLIGERANTS! Good luck!

Why are you quoting me on your post? I never mentioned Middleton, nor is it in the Village of Citrus Grove...

Just sayin….

Possibly some are looking forward to being militant. The question really IS, " Can one or 2 old people with guns WIN over 8 or 9 young people WITH GUNS. .................Or EVEN hordes of drug-crazed robbers and rapists?????????
........OR even an invasion of well-trained FOREIGN TROOPS like in "Red Dawn"??????
........The FUTURE will reveal what the FUTURE will reveal. Good luck!

i, for one, feel VERY safe here; knowing 80% of the villagers on my road are armed good guys

Do these kind of thoughts actually run through your mind or are you just trolling? I seriously hope you're just trolling.

They can't even aim their golf carts straight. I don't trust a single one of them to aim a gun properly. Not one.
