Oh, and my golf cart doesn't get aimed. It gets driven. lol

Wheew........now I feel perfectly safe in TV Land. Home on the gun range - what a life!

But I get what you are saying. I remember when there were quite a few coyotes being spotted in TV neighborhoods and — oh yeah, they were gonna get their guns ready. Geez. Had they ever noticed how close together the houses are? Posers.

The more some guys go on and on and on about their guns, the more I think about that quote attributed to Freud and try to make myself believe it. (But that does not usually work. I cannot help reading between the lines.)

BOOM! Freud quoted in TOTV.........that SHOULD give EXTRA credit! 2 thumbs up!

You know the rich would live
and the poor would cry and die

I do love living here in The Villages, but I want all Villagers to stop and think for a minute. The Villages currently has a population of approximately 140,000 people. 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.

No one is forcing anyone to live here. Some of your statements not accurate. For example. is crime increasing proportionately to the increase in population or is is growing out of proportion? This is not a gated community. We checked out all the alternate locations you mentioned before we decided on the Villages. They are great if you want very very limited activities. Great for some but not for us.

People seem to forget that's where I least is 6 - 12 retirement communities within 10 to 20 minutes of The Villages itself. We live in Pennbrooke Fairways and while the gulf is not free it's extremely reasonable for those that want it. Or housing costs are approximately half of what you guys are paying in The Villages get the free golf and if you want to talk about crime and golfing accidents I can't remember one golf cart tipping over from being a driven by a drunk in the 10 plus years I've lived here

And women have the SAME concerns PLUS the added cost and difficulty finding child care.

You gave no facts. Only what you claim you read. If you read it, you should be able to post it...

Is THIS what you're talking about? If so, boy did you get things wrong!
