I still say that trying to police something like that is impossible. Ballsy people win through intimidation. There is NO entertainment department in the world that could stop this attitude. Most of us don't WANT or enjoy confrontation.
What if the entertainment department removed the cushions and the ropes? Some smart aleck with a snootful is going to take on someone and it well may get physical.
If they employed every night one person to remove the ropes and the cushions, every night, 364 days a year, then that has to come out of the money usually used by entertainment and out of the money from the merchants. Somebody has to pay for it. Would it work? Would the cops be called two or three times a week to eject someone? This is a public area.
No one would learn anything from the cops being called. It would just be ugly and not a really good way to handle it.
WHo knows who is carrying and drinking at the same time?
We have so much negative stuff on this forum. We are devaluing our own homes.
I think that The Villages expected people to behave like mature adults here. They try to avoid making a line and daring people to cross it.
Would signs help? If you put up directions, you have to have some teeth to them. I say that the people who think they are above directions and rules will just keep on, keepin' on.
