The renter/non resident particular in the high season creates a high usage on the facilitates that the amenities fees pay for. I think its time The Villages Corp. need to get off their high horse in trying to sell more homes and instead focus more on the current owners in trying to keep the cost of living in The Villages down

When in doubt and a lack of knowledge it’s always easy to blame “the developer.” Or in this case “The Villages Corp”.
