Your thought process makes no sense.

Sometimes I wish the golf courses would use this site http://florida.arrests.org/ when letting outsiders in. This also helps when using contractors and employees. I even found someone in a very close proximity from me in here. This site in my estimation helps a lot. The people using our golf couse where caught robbing homes. They were very much senior to my surprise. One would break in and open the garage and the other got his pick up truck after a cell phone call and had the other open the garage and close the door. Guess they had a good day of golfing.

Bring buckets. Some of our friends on here need a little.

I'm going to a Halloween party next week. I think I'll go as a "Younger Villager" :a040:

I have been tempted to post to this thread for days, but have managed to suppress the desire until now. Seriously Posh? TV has to be one of the most safe and secure cities of it's size, or any size, on the face of the earth! There may be some crime perpetrated by younger people (whatever that means), but the crime blotter for a month would not make a good day in most places this size. If you want to go to a place that has less crime than
TV, you will probably have to check into a John Knox Village or some similar environment - no thanks! Many of you are reasonable, but some of you sound like the old grouch profanely running the neighborhood kids off his lawn. If the author of Leisureville reads this thread he will probably be motivated to write another book.

I am probably going to stir up a hornet's nest here but I am wondering how my fellow Villagers feel about the rash of crimes being committed by younger Villages residents. It seems that the police blotter now reports crimes on a regular basis where the perpetrators are residents, in their 20s. Somehow I don't see The Villages as a place where I should have to worry about unsavory young people being "among us" and possibly living next door. Before I get too many negative comments I will state that I see listed a number of older Villagers involved in criminal acts, also. No place is perfect. I get that. BUT, does anyone else feel that allowing anyone over "19" to live here is in our best interests? I understand that there may be some kids in their 20s who enjoy living with a bunch of seniors. Most kids I know would want no part of that on a regular basis. This is an "over 55" community and I know that younger folks can buy and live here. I have no problem with anyone over 45 buying a home and living here. The Morses made the rules that allow these kids to live here but I sure would like to see it changed to exclude them, except in the case of a disabled child who needs parental care. I liked living in my little "oasis", insulated from the fear and crime that is rampant in so many areas around us. Reading the police blotter these days has shaken my feelings of peace and security. Somehow, it all didn't matter quite so much when the criminals lived in Wildwood or Leesburg.

Here is my original post on the subject of younger people living here. Somehow this thread ran off into the ditch. I never talked about these younger folks committing any crimes IN The Villages, nor did I mention any one, of any age committing crimes IN The Villages. All I wanted to know was how folks felt about kids in their 20s and 30s living here. There is little crime here, as far as I know. We can't tell from reading the Daily Sun. The crimes that young people commit seem to happen OUT of The Villages. Is this the same place I moved to in 1998? No! Would I choose The Villages if I had it to do over again? Absolutely!

To say that people sound like grouchy old folks running the kids off their I don't think is a fair assessment.

If I want to live with young kid, I would just stay here. We have plenty of them here! One of the reasons I want to live in The Villages is to live with people my own age. As the kids hot rod up and down our streets (they've taken out our mailbox more times then I could count) hubby and I look at each other and say; "can't wait to get to The Villages".

I want to live with active people my own age. Maybe young kids make some feel young... They just make me feel old.

I posted some of The Village videos on my FB page and trust me.... Those "young kids" thought they were silly old people. That does not make me feel young.

The Villages is advertised as a "retirement community", not a family community or a young peoples community.

To what Villagesflorida said, when we first saw The Villages, most of the people who worked there were villagers. You didn't see the young people working in the shops and stores. It was nice to see that so many of the people who lived in The Villages were able to find jobs and supplement their income. When we were here last summer, we saw very little of that.

When were were looking for a place to retire, we walked out of several communities because there were too many young people there.

Well... There you have it. You asked.
