If they would have moved to Del Boca Vista they wouldn't have had this issue.

by a high school?

not at all. you need a hobby other than screaming at the sky.

I bought a place in Venice, FL. There are zero kids that reside within the country club where it is located. But Venice still has a high school.

Perhaps. But the model cannot work long term without younger folks coming.

Once you pass some number of people well under 80k, you don't have a choice.

There were still going to be kids and grandkids driving luxury SUVs at high speeds through your hood anyway. Just like you can't choose your neighbors before you're a retiree, you can't choose them after you retire. My ex-wife lives next to someone who has two teenage illegals that take up parking spots in front of their townhouse while they graduate from a TX high school, but, recourse is what? Nothing.

You kind of can if you decide to retire in a community that is known as a retirement community and not another suburb. At least in a "retirement community" you know if you get a new neighbor, it's not a family of 5 with fricked up kids.

It's not just because of a school. It's the fact that they are letting families under the retirement age to move in there. What's next? Fentanyl makes it there and all the young people start stealing shite out of your golf carts and you have to start locking your doors and everything that's not bolted down gets stolen?

5-10 years from now, The Villages will be just like every other suburb in America.

There has been a high school there for years and years. As someone else already stated, it is for the kids of the workers, kids still cannot live in the community itself.

You apparently live in Atlanta. People will totally steal your shite if your house is in Roswell, too.

If you can afford a 15k+ golf cart, you can afford a garage spot to park it. Just retire to Frisco, TX, where everyone can afford a golf cart, but still need college loans for their kids.

does your particular neighborhood not have age restrictions?

or do you expect there to be just be zero people in an area as large as The Villages under 60 because you made a bad purchase?

Kids with 3 screaming complaints in The Villages disappear. Because of this, parents parent and there are no wailing midgets either.

I was just there visiting. That school is amazing. It is for the children of the people that work in and around The Villages.

This occurs literally everywhere in Florida. The overwhelming majority of K-12 students in the state come from retired transplant families. It’s been like that for the past 30 years.

Go vasectomy early when you know the marriage is over. Under $2k on a high deductible plan. That's probably 2 years after your last kid was born.

Because divorced women above 40 (let alone 60 in the Villages) are going to bang your teeth out.

How in the hell are they supposed to get people to move there to run the community.

The charter school is what makes everything go.....


You literally have no idea what you are talking about whatsoever....

I will say, giving a crumb snatcher an iPad and pretending a kid is being "raised" is BS. That is most of parents these days.
