Not my words but theirs, as it seems some think I am making a one man stand against them with things that I have been told directly by snowbirds.

Someone asked what personal attacks against us. The attacks have been against our property, by not showing respect for it. i.e. we cam home one day after being out that morning, we come driving up the street and our neighbors who are snow-birds were getting their yard landscaped, they told the Landscaper that it was fine to dump a whole dump truck of gravel in our driveway, so we could not get in to our house. 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!!!
This must be uncomfortable for everyone involved. Very sad.
