Apparently Monitors are told by their supervisor not to make people get out of the pool to show their ID’S.

I get it, maybe the non-resident might buy a house someday. Just saying. I don’t think our pools are over run by non-residents illegally using our pools we pay to use. At least, not that I’ve seen and it could be that residents sometimes forget to get their guests passes or just are too busy (lazy maybe). Fore.
I agree. My point was that many of those complaining about the pools being overrun have absolutely no idea who is a resident/guest and who is not. I have no doubt that there are violators out there. I would love a workable idea for how to stop them. I haven’t seen anything yet that would cost less than $5M.

I could get behind being asked to get out of the pool to show IDs. It would be annoying and an inconvenience but I think it would be okay with me. If that is enough to solve the problem or quiet the online complaints then let’s do it.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
