IMHO, the spirit of community is nothing more than the sum of the spirits of each of it's inhabitants. And weather they are owners or renters, or full time or part time is not relevant. ME FIRST people will always negatively impact a sense of community, simply because they put their needs Above the needs of others. Perhaps when we encounter someone who is behaving in a Me First way, each of us should simply remind that person that TV is and inspires to be the world's friendliest town and that we expect people to behave that way while they are with us.
