Really? So the people we hire to mow our lawns, pull our weeds, put chemicals on our lawns, spray for pests, power wash our homes, tune up our irrigation systems, seal our driveways, take care of our swimming pools, service our air conditioning systems, trim our shrubs, repair our screens, etc…., which all has to be done whether we are there or not, aren’t part of the local full time economy. Many full timers can do those things themselves, so they don’t hire people who are part of the local economy. Furthermore, part timers pay for amenities, trash pick-up, base water and sewer rates, etc… for extended periods of time while not there using any of those services, effectively subsidizing the costs for full timers. In return for that they get to pay significantly more in property taxes and they get blamed for just about everything that annoys many full timers. Hmmmmmm!
