If it wasn’t for service industry workers, there ‘would be no such thing as The Villages’

To the Editor:

People want to say that the younger generation is the problem when the older, retirement population in The Villages is worse than any of the younger generation that is present. They (the retired residents) are constantly using drugs and alcohol and think they are untouchable because of their age and where they live this free lifestyle. Saying they are worried about the younger people when they are the problem in their own community.  Trying to constantly put blame on the younger people who work hard and try to provide for their own families by providing all these retirees all of their luxuries. By serving them and by attending to their needs and expectations that they have living in The Villages. That is the problem! Especially when they don’t appreciate the younger generation that is enabling them to have the lifestyle that they have. If it wasn’t for the people like us who provide these services there would be no such thing as The Villages.
