Now, for my next random thought:
Having owned for 4 years, I can see some effect of crowding in just that short time.
BUT — the other part of that is we have been among the abominable snowbirds, wanting the blue sky weather at the same time as a whole lot of other people. It has become more difficult to even get into a movie during high season.
(Ironically, I thought I was going to get into a knock-down-drag-out one morning in the line to get into the Civil Discourse Club.  )
Picture this:
Nice Lady Boomer is next in line waiting to get into the Civil Discourse Club meeting. The room is filling up.
The doorkeeper says, “Two spaces left.”
Nice Lady Boomer smiles at the guy in line immediately next to her and says, “Well, I guess that’s us.”
THEN, the guy grabs the door and sneers, “Hey! I am waiting for my friend!”
Sooooooo, surprisingly agile Nice Lady Boomer glares at the bully who thinks he can intimidate her and ducks under his arm to disappear into the room. HAH!
And don’t even try to get into water aerobics.
And I am still pizzed about the closing of the Lifelong Learning College. (sigh)
ANYWAY — I am coming to the conclusion that those who live here year round are at an advantage because they know the territory well and have taken the time to establish their day-to-day lives and they can enjoy things more easily in the off-season. This is home to the year-rounders and it seems like that might be the best choice if choosing TV.
Just a theory, for now. |
Do not be intimidated. You have the exact same rights as a year rounder. Days per year in TV gives one seniority over nothing. If a Rec Club gives priority to full timer
property owner Vs a snowbird
property owner blow them in. In fact how would they know you are a snowbird ?
