As we have been told by them, "we are not the type neighbors they thought they would have, we were told by our TV Rep, that villas are bought by "older" couples who are snowbirds and not young fulltimers". So all actions such as above are aimed at trying to make us move. They also block our drive so we can't go out, etc. Or how about this, we have a group of friends we socialize with, and we meet at each other homes to have a drink before we go out to eat. I am only talking 2 other couples so 6 people, we sit in our birdcage from about 5:30 to maybe 6:30, the neighbors continually blink their yard lights at us! Speaking of the birdage, when we had it put up and spa installed, they went and tried to get it stopped, cause they didn't want us to have it in the back yard!
Most of the snowbirds around us have mounted these and other attacks against us to get us to move, but we are not!!!

That is really sad to hear. My wife and I are "younger" full timers and our neighbors (frogs, snowbirds, renters, etc.) have gone out of their way to welcome us into the neighborhood.

I'm glad to hear you are not willing to let them push you around or discourage you from living here.
