Wow, looks like I really asked a good question!
As I said, I am of the camp that tends to believe that there are way more then 40% part-time, snowbirds, etc and way less then 60% of us fulltimers. Just listen to WVLG when they do the "roving mic" reports from the squares, over 90% of the time they are talking with non-fulltimers. Then I look at my villa community. There are 60 villas, in season all are filled, in summer only about 15, which is way less then 60%. Plus the wife and I like to ride in our golf cart some afternoons, when the season is over go for a ride and really look at the homes as you go by, and you will seem a large number closed up in the summer, i.e. blinds drawn, patio furniture stacked or none, and other things that signal seasonal resident.
I agree the stats should be released, cause again I do not want TV becoming a seasonal resort and very few of us.
By the way as far as snowbirds not liking paying the fees and things they have to pay all year, I do not recall anyone telling them when they bought that they could not stay all year. They knew it then, and no one twisted their hands to buy knowing that, it is and was their choice. I know it sounds cold, but that is the facts.
