The pros
- Two to four times the amount of parking Vs. cars
- Safer by not parking next to a SUV and blindly backing out into traffic
- Allows more people in the squares for entertainment. People will sit in golf carts and watch the entertainment
- Safer by eliminating large amount tourist/rubbernecker from cruising the block.
- Gives residents a perk for buying here but still does not eliminate outsiders in "public area"
The cons
- Eliminates handicap car parking (however a shuttle could be implemented like at The Villages Hospital for the surrounding parking lots)
- Is it legal to segregate public streets ? (I say yes. It is done all the time for parades, cruise in nights, etc.)
Any constructive opinions ? Do you think the yearly resident survey would call any attention to this ?

FYI - I am the original poster. Notice I listed pros and cons. I also did not say what my own preference is. The purpose was to have as the post requests constructive opinions. So far the my way or the highway far outweighs any the brainstorming. Got to love social media.
