. It's insulting to hear the complaints about us. We do know how to navigate roundabouts, we don't drive our golf cart crazily, we support the economy, we are good neighbors and we appreciate all we have here. We can't wait to return in October!

I agree that it's insulting to hear complaints directed at snowbirds.
However, now that there many full timers, and the bad parking and poor driving continue all year long,
residents will eventually realize that snowbirds aren't the main proponents of bad behaviour.
