The people who rent from me are very nice, and do not attack owner occupied people. I would say they are nicer than you and several others on this forum. My renters come back year after year and love the villages, they just do not want to own.
So basically this whole thing was an owner occupied property and somehow you want to bash renters. REALLY? Owners who rent provide opportunities to try before you buy, to enjoy without having to buy, and possibly to have people who would otherwise not have the capital to invest to enjoy the villages. We also keep your property values up by providing more demand for property.
I just think you are totally off the mark.

Well then Packer Fan you are going to be more offended when you learn that I am a Viking Fan. The Vikings resided in my community and a few were my neighbors.
Kidding aside I continue to post that I am not talking about PEOPLE but rather POLICY but the subject matter to some posters sets off premature fire alarms.
I continue to say I am not speaking to the LEGALITY of it but that the affect and effect ,the good and the bad it has on this community....lack of continuity of relationships, overuse of amenities, etc
Once again it depends on how one views The Villages. Is it your retirement community (home) or someone's vacation destination... And yes I understand the financial benefits of the latter. However one also has to remember that only a few reap the rewards while the vast majority suffer the consequences. Oops don't want to offend so let me change the word consequence to circumstances ( crowding.......)
There are probably as many different thoughts on this issue as there are people living here. So clearly I am not offended that you are offended. Because thoughts or opinions are not harmful. I have not marched in the streets with signage protesting renters.
I respect your point of view and am pleased that you spoke up so that the discussion circle widens and we all learn more about an issue .
The best of all to you and yours.
Personal Best Regards:
