I don't know if sales can be somehow restricted, and the duration of rentals regulated, but IMHO, the time has come to find out. I don't believe sales to any entity other than a real person should be allowed (not trusts, or corporations), and rentals should be at least 90 days (the longer the better). I do not mean to cast aspersions in all renters, but as we all have seen, 1 rotten apple can create a barrel full.
re: Rentals. It is what it is...

Folowing the death of Gary Morse it is now a new day in the villages. The kids have every right to run the show as they see fit and profit is not a dirty word.

The vision of the growth of the villages tempered with an altruistic attitude made the villages of today. The Villages of tomorrow will be one of uncontrolled expansion with many small kingdoms created by business entrepreneurs e.g., (the four country clubs and scooples owned by one such entrepreneur) . Another is the monoply of Cal's barber shops. etc. There will be many more to come. Learn to accept it. It is the free market at work.
