In fact I doubt that even in high 'bird season, the total occupancy in TV is likely never over 95%.

Another thing: in my opinion the short-termers here (renters for less than 3 months, AirB&B'ers, etc.) are here on vacation and are probably a lot less likely to be penny-pinchers, therefore a lot MORE likely to spend money in the community than are the permanent residents, thus helping area businesses.

In other words, that glass is a lot more than half full. Sure, it can be annoying at times, such as when you see a teen skateboarding on an MMP or a Harley parked in front of an AirB&B, but those are the exceptions. The RULE is that The Villages, despite those minor annoying quirks, is still one heck of a good place to live.

100% Occupancy can only occur after the LAST house is built. Do you actually see that happening while there is a 2,000 sq foot of property available for sale within 20 miles of TV? Ask anyone who has been a FT resident for 10 years or more.
