We always pay for the resident passes each visit so that helps to cover the amenities we may or may not use. More and more on here I’m seeing posts that are very unwelcoming to visitors and even renters or owners who don’t live there full-time. This is where I would love to live but just not possible at this time. We are very friendly people who love interacting with others but sometimes it’s obvious to us that the neighbors near where we rent aren’t interested in even conversing. Sort of disappointing. We’re not there to ruin your values or anything else. We’re just people who are very happy when we visit TV. It is a special place. Hoping the inhospitable attitudes don’t become the norm. We’ll be there May 27-June 7 so we hope it’s not too much for the OP and some of the others who are negative toward us as visitors

It’s too bad you are the anomaly. The main issue is of course STRs (short term rentals) that rent for under 31 days. I understand you do (ie. 11 days). It isn’t about hostility, it’s about following community standards for those of us who have made the jump to maintaining a full time household down here. Perhaps when you sink money into your permanent retirement address, pay almost 10k in property taxes, and cover all other bills, you may think differently about the revolving door next to your new home? There is the Brownwood hotel etc. Of course, STRs will cut into the bottom line of the new Villages hotel in Middleton. This could forward some decision enforcement also? Every bit will help.
