I do look forward to the absence of crowds in the restaurants and squares but I actually think the snowbirds leaving makes things worse.

In my opinion all very valid points and wishing there were fewer snowbirds and more permanent residents for the reasonable reasons you stated does express a little bit of a negative bias (or maybe better termed - pference) against snowbirds, but not in an unfriendly way. I don't think any snowbird should take offense to that. And I hope more people begin to express their feelings in that type of way.
