In 4 years, I have not experienced “hatred of snowbirds”. With so much hatred and anger in the country, it is also growing worse here. It’s unfortunate since these bad attitudes can be difficult on any community.

Many, myself included, become frustrated by the traffic jams, not being able to take a left turn on even smaller streets, so a circle or stop light is needed, 90 minutes waits for dinner at a restaurant, grocery stores being sold out of popular products by noon, etc.

As mentioned in a previous post, the infrastructure is not built for the crowds that come during the winter months. Having said that, I haven’t ever lived anywhere that doesn’t have its problems. It’s just a matter of what problems one is willing to live with and possibly work to correct.
