I love Villagers, but my gosh, there's a measely 96 homes in there. These are owned by the folks that keep the Villages running; and some of your are miffed that these people might use your cart paths & pools?!

Give me !#$ break. If you want to live in a submarine where "only the residents" get in and close the hatch, that's fine, but if you're going to own the submarine, then be prepared to run the submarine. Let all the recreation, golf facilities, waste water facilities, landscaping---EVERYTHING be run by residents only. The rest of us interlopers will move on.

How would you all like that?

They are not all owned by "folks that keep the villages running". Anyone can buy in there. They can have kids....you cannot in TV. This is a "retirement community". We have restrictions so why would/should it be open to eveyone else with no restrictions? Would you buy a lot, build and equip a big rec room, have an indoor and/or outdoor pool, shuffleboard court, horseshoe pit, pool tables, etc. and then just let anyone use all of it and you foot all the bills? Could they use your kitchen to entertain their friends while using all your fun stuff? Not. That's what you're asking us to do. We pay and you play? Not.
