Don't agree. Anytime anyone use's that phase in any context it's insulting to anyone working just to make ends meet. More insulting then white trash, trailer trash etc. because it's used everywhere and not considered politically incorrect by the elitist crowd. |

I am, and come from, working class. I have no problem with the term. We are people who work, and we have the class to be proud of it. Hey, Rickey. I am sure the poster meant no insult at all. Beers on me for both of you.

It was in response to a much-more-obviously degrading, elitist remark about nuking an entire area...and obviously sarcastic in nature. In context, it was in defense of the people degraded by the post it was in response to. By the way, I also agree with Marathon Man, I would not be insulted...in fact would feel a sense of pride...if I was referred to as a 'working man'.

Beautiful post. I missed the ruckus. I am working class, always was and always will be. I am also very frugal and extremely lucky. I have been poor and it scares me. I try to stay ahead of my bills and hope to not outlive my last dollar. Money is a very touchy subject.

Back to subject of TV reaching that far, it would be pretty cool to show up for little league baseball and football games in our golf cart.

It would not surprise me to see "The Villages" double in size, over the next decade (2016 - 2025)
Baby boomer retirements are just beginning. |

Speaking of MMP striping, I think we should do it.

I just spent yesterday afternoon with a guy named Bob (3 years away from retirement) from my adopted Midwest home town about the size of The Villages and once again I couldn't get over the excitement and positive comments he continued to make as we toured this place for about 3 hours. Those of us who have lived here for awhile take so much for granted. Frankly, I needed that tour with him more than he did. We can so get so caught up in the "negative" that we don't realize what we have here. For all the Bob's out there, continue to grow south so they too can realize all the benefits of this place we call The Villages. Amen.

Assuming you mean double in terms of the number of homes, it isn't clear that would be possible. It would require building twice as many homes per year as they are currently building.
