I realize that the Town Squares are open to the general public and the businesses thrive on their patronage. Yesterday I went down to the St. Patrick's events and it was so packed I couldn't get a beer!
I'm all about lots of people and having fun. But I found out from a couple of young girls that they accessed the square using The Villages Golf Cart trails. I was surprised since they had told me that their parents do no live in the Villages. When I asked them how they got on The Villages trails they said that their parents and other people that lived in the same community had cards to swipe. I also saw another couple on a golf cart that I know does not own property in the Villages.
I'm not trying to be a "downer", but it sort of rubbed me the wrong way that they could use our trails so easily when I could have got a bigger house for less money where they live! I could just live over there and not have to contribute to the upkeep of trails and bridges etc. A huge reason why I bought in The Villages was to have access to the trails. Isn't there something that can be done to monitor this better! New passes...checking pass numbers...anyone agree?
