I certainly agree, my concern and amazement is only how many people post on here without having any understanding of how a development like this differs from a "town, city" (municipality), how many have no idea how our retail and recreational "areas" differ from legal zoning areas as they knew them form where ever they came from ? Also, so many seem to totally misunderstand that officers of the sheriff department of their county, do not, CAN NOT, legally enforce "covenants". The Villages USED to hold class for new residents on HOW their new "government" works; that their is not mayor, that they do not have a city council, a zoning board, the country (3 different ones at present in the villages development) and the state's existing "laws" have to be followed. It's not just here, I truly feel people just do not get the basic instruction in government and civics they will need to know how to proceed in issues like this in their adult life ! I also wonder just how many people are so taken by "livin the life" that they just start signing documents and have no idea what they are agreeing to ? ? Like those who complain constantly how much they pay in amenity fees for a private GATED community... LOL ! Better said, they PAY for a community that has gates that give a pretty appearance, with flowers, and little "ambassador" houses to help people find directions, NOT to determine who can enter and who can't...LOL... but some always seem to think they should ! ?
All this said, I do AGREE the STR's (short term rentals like AB&B with 43 million rentals, Home-Away, etc. ARE a growing problem not only in the Villages but all over the world. Trouble is, very few understand what it takes to stop this legally, IF at all possible. It can be done, you can find examples of the process on line. A long and expensive task.
