If that access was cut off they would need a street legal cart (which legally they already needed, they were just being sneaky). I was not told that LL residents had or would continue to have "access to The Villages". It was made clear to me that cart access could be gone at any time.

That said, I don't really see why people care if those folks drive their carts to our squares and spend money in our stores and restaurants. If they can't come in by cart they will either drive their cars (which take up more parking spaces than carts) or not come (and not spend money here). I'd rather they came and spent money myself, but that's just me. [shrug]

Bring them on, in their cars. Keep the golf carts in the Villages to Villagers. The MMP's are crowded enough without outsiders, who pay for the paths. If they really want to drive their golf carts on the MMP's in the Villages, then buy a house in the Villages.
