Decided I should expand my reply. During the winter months in my neighborhood, the rentals are occupied by people over 55 each staying long term. Some rent the same unit for the following year before leaving.

Off season, the rentals are sporadic and none seem to be occupied long term. None of these renters have gotten so out of control that the police needed to be called. Just young people on vacation doing what young people will do.

If I glare at them when they are doing something stupid they usually politely stop and apologize. Some wave their hands at me and just leave. I tend to believe these renters are relatives of Villagers. They seem to not want to cause trouble but still just want to have fun. I try to be respectful because I would want another Villager to treat my family with respect. If anything, sometimes I feel like a babysitter.

Still, if I can find an area I prefer better, I would like to move. Piece and quiet is not something I get around here. I guess if you drove through Middleton not that the families have arrived, you will get my gist.
