I heard a rumor from Bruce that the gate card system in the Villages is going to change. Be forewarned that I have been giving out and using the devices that are placed in car mirrors to activate the gates for over a year.
He's not selling them. He's giving them away. He's basically helping non-residents circumvent the system that our community fees (amenity fees, assessments, I have no idea which but it's Villager homeowners who pay for it, not non-Villagers via taxes) pay for.

He doesn't have to like it. And he's not "breaking the law." But he is breaking the rules (which is not the same as breaking the law). Seems hypocritical to me, that people who pounce on anyone who violates deed restrictions in a deed restricted community, would have no problem violating the rules in a community governed with rules.
