Army Guy used to be a snowbird. I guess he was a member of the tiny minority of good ones.
I honestly have never heard a snowbird complain about any expenses of living in The Villages. We knew the costs up front and accepted them. It's just part of having two homes. We'll be heading north soon leaving utopia to the fulltimers. We pay taxes and fees at our northern homes and accept that as well. It goes with the territory.
Interesting point is that I have heard locals complain about TV residents in general without making any distinction based on time spent in TV. Most anywhere you go there's a feeling of ill will for the interlopers. Up north we have the dreaded weekend people. Those who make money off them tolerate them, the rest of us could definitely live without them.
If someone has a problem with the way clubs and recreation activities perhaps that should be addressed with the proper authorities. Snowbirds have nothing to do with the lack of activities when we are away.
