One could argue that a resident does have more skin in the game than a fly by night renter though, both monetarily and in physical upgrades to the neighborhood.
One could argue all they want but the Villages does NOT have an HOA. The Villages works under a CDD which is defined by Florida law. I have not looked but I suspect an HOA is defined by Florida law as well. The two are not the same and the Villages is a CDD.

Even for those who couldn't care less about airbnbs, the fact that the Villages is not an HOA is important. HOAs have certain rights and responsibilities while CDDs have other rights and responsibilities. The differences are important in how they can affect what you are allowed to do as a homeowner.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
