Smile You'll Notice

You will notice that in my original note I did not isolate the "renters" but rather addressed it to the "residents/renters" as I think when you have the
number of people here both are affected and it is not necessarily just renters. Regarding New Yorkers..I have traveled to all the major cities in
Europe and lived in NY. I use to get a kick out of people saying how bad
New Yorker's were. All the big cities are the same. You have your share of
people in Paris, London, Rome, etc. who are impolite just as you have in NY.
People are people.
Back to impolite in The Villages. I personally feel it is the frustration of all the
crowding, traffic, etc and that drive the attitudes and behaviors. A check
of this is when you are on a cart path, few people are around and someone has a problem almost everyone stops to see if they can help.
The only ones that I really dislike are the ones that try to push ahead of the
others, try to beat the system which is a form of abuse. To them I say go
home whether it is in The Villages or NY or Chicago or Miami, etc.
