In order to have a solution, you must start with a problem. "Curb Airbnb" is not a problem. It is a goal of the poster and obviously others.
People who have visited more than once, might very well wish to buy a home in The Villages before they are ready to move here. Short and long term rentals are a way that they could lock in a desired home today, postponing their personal move.
People who want to avoid location-based buyer's remorse might well want to try out multiple locations before purchasing. Long term rentals would be a costly way to avoid that.
The pejorative "snow birds" appears often on TOTV. It probably is used the most by the same people who want TV to be fully occupied by eliminating short term rentals - but they are not thinking that way, of course. That seems inexplicable, unless both positions come from those with a tendency to complain.
