The other evening I was using the outside exercise equipment at Mulberry after swimming laps in the sports pool. A bunch of locals (I would put around 30 years old) walked across the street (which is outside the bubble) with a big cooler full of beer and wine and proceeded to take over the exercise equipment like it was their private party spot. They cranked up some red neck type country western on a Bluetooth speaker and were having a grand old time. I was almost done with my workout and didn’t want a confrontation with several people less than half my age, so I let it go and headed home. I thought about calling community standards, but it was getting dark out and I didn’t want to put someone else in a precarious position. The point is, non Villagers are using our amenities and are getting good at knowing what they can get away with.
