However, I play music in a lot of jams every week, and during this part of the year attendance is down about fifty percent. I know that my fellow jammers and I are looking forward to having our friends and fellow musicians rejoin us. We also look forward to the rest of our weekly audiences returning. Welcome Home, Snowbirds!
I was just thinking, snowbirds are full time owners. If they decided to stay full time, the intended construction, density of buildings, everything, was built for full time occupation. Not including renters. So the winter congestion should actually be a year round congestion. (Not that I don’t enjoy the fewer people in off peak season, myself…)
