It's not brain surgery, but it may be a misrepresentation of facts.
Do you know how many under 55's are living in The Villages?
You'd have to know that before you can judge the statistical percentage of how many under 55's are offenders.
The online newspaper relishes reporting crimes, and the Happy Paper avoids them.

You're right ALL the adult kids living at home are perfect hard working employed angels.

And that mean online newspaper overstates the amount of under 55 that get arrested by changing ages too.

Try it, do a quick search of just that site, with only one keyword "arrested," go back just one year.

Arrested site:**************.com - Google Search

But you may want to quantify multiple arrests of the same person, like our famous 79 year old resident from Del Mar.

Unfortunately I can't post the Google advanced search results, as it includes the taboo name of that site.

I'm not saying that at all, and you know it!
I am saying that unless you know the number of under 55's living in The Villages, you can't possibly know the percentage of offenders.

You can look at the percent of under 55 villagers that are arrested from a particular Web site.

Which is NOT brain surgery.

Try it going forward, when you wake up tomorrow.


This was my original quote, luckily it was quoted because the original mysteriously disappeared as if it were cuss words,

"Absolutely, just look at the total number of persons arrested on that other site. These wonderful "kids" make up a big percentage, if not the majority."

What's so illogical, just look at that site?

Lol

Why would you care if adult children are living with their parents in The Villages, even if they're not working...if they are not committing criminal acts?

Don't give up. If you see something say something.

Seriously I did not suggest , or extrapolate, anything. It was an observation, a question looking for further reasoning.

You however have taken it upon yourself to imply and define it to your liking. And because you repeated this commentary twice you seem to have a bee under your bonnet But hey, if it rocks your world, knock yourself out

P. S. I was not the OP on this thread.

This topic of residents kids moving in with their parents has been debated as often as speeding golf carts and dog poop. And it is with the same disdain and in a circular discussion.

Too many posters seem to take the high moral ground which denotes arrogance and arrogance is always accompanied with its sister ignorance.

"No one knows the trouble we sees, no one knows my sorrow."

People on this forum have no idea why adult children may accompany their parents? I am sure it is for a myriad of reasons. No one stops and thinks about what those parents are going through or why.

Too many condemn them for lack of parenting skills and they haven't got a clue what those folks are dealing with each day.

Too many make the lazy connection and hence assumption that if they are under 55 and village residents well then there some resident's adult kid who is not so adult and causing trouble in Paradise.

How many adult children living here with their parents are never seen or heard from and living quietly here?

How many adult villagers have been the topic of salacious gossip because of sex in the square, drug charges, shooting up someone's home, etc etc etc.

Judge Not Lest Thee Be Judged.

By OP, I was referring to your post, not the 1st post - I could have been clearer about that. Your implication was quite clear whether you want to admit it now or not. Whether you like the term "extrapolate" or not doesn't really matter to me - the term fits perfectly what you were trying to do. There are 3 families around 50 near you so the 80/20 rule is in question?? Of course you "suggested" it - it is there in black and white. You simply chose to use a rhetorical question to make your "suggestion" (posted below).

so what are the odds that given an 80/20 split we would have had three families in our neighborhood age 50-51?

The 3 families around 50 in your neighborhood do not shed any light on where we stand with the 80/20 rule. There can be no "further reasoning" with such a small sample size as it isn't and can't be representative of The Villages as a whole. There are no families around 50 on my street. There are 57,000 homes in The Villages. Please post some real, statistically significant numbers instead of using a term like "propaganda" and a rhetorical question, as you did in your post. In your original post, you also accused the Government of essentially not doing their job of rules compliance (posted below).

However I do care when government intentionally blurs the lines of rules and regulation policies and compliance's or allows them to lapse because the community suffers.

Back it up with evidence. Have a nice day.

Yes seriously. I went back and read it. Opinion still the same.
