- 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 ?

I do not own a golf cart, always park in the lots of the town squares. So this is something that I would continue to do. However, we have some friends that are not able to walk long distances, so if this change was made, then there would need to be a shuttle from the lots to the squares.
