I’m a Floridian and we hated the traffic and congestion but loved the tourists and snowbirds, because of them/you we have no state tax and our sales tax stayed at 4.5% most of my younger adult life.
I don’t know about your neighborhood but in mine we love our snowbirds. We do so much together that when their gone it’s a void. Ladies golf may have 6 during the summer but 16 in the winter. Driveway parties are much more fun and we miss the delicious food certain people bring, and the “dad humor” of some of the guys. We have a BBQ send off with tears and a welcome home
party with open arms. I still fuss about the traffic and tee times but I love my neighborhood snowbirds!!
