No unintended impacts. It is quieter here in the lovely summer months & busier in the lovely winter months. I'm fond of our snowbirds & look forward to seeing them return in the fall.

Just look at all the replies from owners and investors in this thread and many others who say they have had many rentals and continue to rent... search the Villages on Airbnb now across all dates and see how many there are out there. What will happen if the rules are changed for them in the middle of the game and for others who had planned to buy (or buy more) and do the same? I agree that none of us has those numbers or can 100% foresee the true impact; but some impact, surely there has to be, great or small. All I am saying is that a STR ban would not be a risk I would be willing to take if I am generally content with the current state of my Villages, whether I am full time or not, err on the side of caution. It is a formula for success (as everyone here has to admit) and I would not mess with it.
