I wonder how many of those under 55 residing within The Villages would be considered indigent? Five of those arrested in the Palo Alto drug bust are considered indigent according to the unnameable online news source.

I wonder why kids are moving in with their parents to take care of them when you would think the parents would move in with the kids. I know my daughter would not give up her home and job to move in to take care of me but would have me move in with her.

it is soooo aggravating that nothing is being done about it. There bringing our villages name to a new low

I liked it better when we only had the Happy Paper. Things probably haven't changed, we just didn't know about it.

If they were fully functioning adults they would not need to move back in with mom and/or dad. 55 communities and over are for 55 and over seniors, not their felon/substance abusing children who commit crimes and cause many problems.

Do you have a study or other evidence that shows that "most" of these adult children are felons or drug addicts? Where exactly are you getting that statistic from?

In my view, TV is a microcosm of society in general. So if society has a drug problem or a crime problem, one should expect the same in TV. The issue from the OP is present in other parts of our life good and bad, so we should expect the same here.
This discussion has cleared up the how can you have a 55+ restriction. The federal act that prohibits descrimination would not allow them. However the federal old age act allows these kind of communities. However this still allows discrimination in conflict with the first act. By adding the 20/80 rule, you can have the intent of the 55+ community without ever descriminating. i.e.: no one under 55 is turned down because of age. Interesting.

Yes, but your daughter HAS a home and a job. Some children of Villagers are not that fortunate. Some have a disability. Some have parents that adamantly refuse to leave their homes. I give credit to those children who are willing to uproot their lives to take care of an aging parent, and those parents who are devoted to taking care of an adult child with special needs. As far as the small criminal element goes, we still live in one of the safest zip codes in the country, and LEOs will root out the bad apples. You are much more likely to be injured by a confused driver in a RB or a drunk cart driver.

Another brain surgeon inTV,last night a 36 yr old visiting his father consumes at least 5 drinks and launches a 51 yr old woman out of a golf cart, he leaves her in a flower bed before he got arrested--honestly, there should be some responsibility with the bar tender where he was drinking,too

We can assUme that many never got their feet firmly off the ground, I bet some never even left home.

Eventually they will brag about being a caretaker of old mom.

It's easy to see this "kid" population commits more than their share of crimes.


Just check that site daily.


Once again, it ain't brain surgery.

No, I don't believe that is true, because 90% of all crime is committed by persons under the age of 50. To break it down even further, 25% of crime is committed by those under age 18. TV essentially eliminated most of those people, 80% of the homeowners must have a person on the title who is 55+ and children under 19 can't visit for more than 30 days a year. We can certainly see that we don't have the crime numbers that nearby cities have. You don't have to be this guy to know what's going on.



Just read the crime reports on this website for a week.



So when you read these crime reports that are committed within TV, just ask yourself, does this person own a home in TV? Is this person over age 55? There's your answer.

And a 29 year old rocket scientist living in the village of Amelia today...and the beat goes on...

I thought the indigents in Palo Alto were renters, not adult children living with their parents.
One wonders about them claiming to be indigent, because of the drugs found in the house.

[xcaligirl]

I don't think we're saying ALL of them but there are quite a few who do live here either with their parents or grandparents who are not the best example of a human being. Just by reading the paper, there are a lot of the 'kids' living with family who commit the crimes and have drug issues.

People should be more understanding.
