Snowbirds are merely vacationers, renter snowbirds are tourists.
Harold Schwartz never intended the Villages to be like this. Snowbirds should be shunned by all true full-time residents.

What DID Mr. Schwartz intend? From what I can find, he was a shrewd businessman who knew how to sell property. He ended up creating a unique business model and was (and continues to be) successful.
Anyone who lives in The Villages has come from someplace else. Why divide people up between ‘snowbirds’ and ‘“True Villagers”? What is the point?
If you want no traffic, fewer lines for restaurants, open tee times and perfect weather year round - not sure that really exists. However, The Villages is as close as you can get if one looks at all the good there is rather than all the ‘inconvenience’.
Embrace the SnowBird.
