Default Short term rentals are part of the problem

Didn't get any of the three days requested. I think that groups are forming leagues down south and rotating request so that there are request with only 1 or 2 points. I have golfed with people who are traveling an hour by cart to get to the north end to golf. My reason for owning in the Villages is quickly fading.
I was reading another Communities marketing literature. They present that The Villages allows short term rentals which helps cause the over population. I forwarded it to The Villages and did not get a reply.
