But why are the non-full time residents so despised by the TV full-timers? I sincerely don't understand. Do they think we're not as invested in our properties? That we have so much money we can afford to not care? Are they envious that we have 2 homes? That we can escape TV and have another home to go to? I just don't get it.
I don’t despise snowbirds; I’m happy you come down here for a short time and support the economy. But I don’t like the small group of people who visit for a short period of time and treat my home, The Villages, with disrespect. Loud, rude, entitled, irresponsible - kind of like spring breakers. This seems to all change when they become full timers and “my home” becomes their home. That’s my feeling on the subject.
