I'm all for the squares being open to the public....it brings me joy to see some local resident's little kids dancing it up and having a good time at the squares (reminds me of my grandkids)

I think to myself that maybe some of the so called 'nonpaying' people actually work in The Villages, maybe they staff the medical offices, wait on tables, wait on us in the retail stores, mow the lawns, are the electricians or plumbers we all use....or maybe this free entertainment is all that they hard working people can afford

The Squares are open to the public...oh, so maybe we might have to walk a distance from the parking lot...hello we need the exercise

I'll bet every single one of us have brought our kids and grandkids to 'da squares' to show it off...if not, then friends that came to visit...they've never spent a dime on amenity fees either...so what's the issue

how silly to complain that a small about of people that may live outside TV, and would like to have a little enjoyment, and are well behaved, are crowding us out...and that heaven forbid people that don't live in TV and pay the amenity fee are somehow able to access the fun in the squares if they don't pay amenity fees

If we didn't have these wonderful people that live outside TV that mow the lawns, provide every form of service we can think of....TV wouldn't be the great bubble that it is

To those that take issue...I say 'get a life' learn how to share....you're running out of runway pal, so use your good china, buy the expensive shoes, go on the trips...drink the more expensive wine...

life is short

Very well stated!
