Pretty interesting, since I've had the exact same experience and observations of people who live here year-round. They don't treat it like a temporary playground, they treat it like their own private back yard where they can do what they want, break whatever rules they want, break laws if they want to, get in peoples' faces if they get called out on it. Because "they pay fees" so they have the "right" to do what they want.

Here's a hint: it has nothing to do with how many months of the year they live here. It has everything to do with them, personally. Buttholes come in many shapes and sizes, from all cultures, in every color, in every income group, and live here both short term and long term, seasonally and year-round. Entitlement knows no boundaries, I've observed. All you need is to think that your freedoms are more important than their rights, and you have the makings of a butthole.
