But I've even heard complaints about why it's the 'snowbirds' fault that businesses struggle during the summer, that they are so 'privileged' not to have to endure the summer heat, etc. This bias and prejudice is the single worst feature of TV, in my opinion.

I have to admit that when I hear fulltime residents complain about seasonal residents, it makes me sad. And when they blame us for clogging up the roads and taking their tee times and causing accidents and making them wait in restaurants, I feel sad and unwanted. We love The Villages just as much as you do. And we gladly pay taxes and amenities all year long. Please be nice to seasonal residents.
