There are 2 issues here: 1. passes for guests where the single deed holder is dating someone and 2. a resident pass for a cohabiting non-deed holder (a long term relationship).

In situation 1: so long as the dating partner is with the deed holder he/she should have access to a guest pass no more or less restrictive than passes for people renting in TV. Look at my resident pass and her temporary/guest pass then let us go on our way.

For situation 2: nearly 10 percent of all couples living together, do so without being married. This is becoming more common as time goes by. Moreover, the rights of couples living together without marriage becomes intertwined with the whole debate on marriage for same-sex couples.

I was married for 30 years and I have a 22 year old son. I want to ensure that my assets go to my son - and I have little patience for rules that stand in the way of my decision on what happens to my assets after my death. The choice of whether I give deed rights to someone I am living with is a personal decision and is no concern to the powers that be in TV.

Still, I want to fall in love and I object to rules that makes my lover a second-class resident of TV. If she provides proof that she is a resident in my home for State/Federal purposes that should suffice for a TV resident ID. Proofs can be a drivers license, a Federal or State tax return, or even bills sent here in her name.

Before I get flamed - if we are restricting amenity rights to just deed holders then renters should get el-squato..nada...nothing. To provide them with access to pools, clubs, and golf but not my live-in lover is just the morality police sniffing in my sheets. I am too old to care about their issues.

Sorry for the rant.
