Granted they may come to the town squares to shop or listen to the music but so can many others as they are public and anyone can drive there. Heck, before we bought our house we spent 4 years coming on vacation and did the same. We rented a cart and used the paths and stayed at the hotels. I don't think we were awful, but were checking to see if we wanted to move here. We looked at Stonecrest as well. In the end, we chose the villages because we had MANY golf courses to choose from, and Stonecrest only had one.
I guess I am saying there are many outsiders using "The Villages" in one way or another. You never know, one of those outsiders may become your neighbor someday!

And you have to ask why there seems to be so much attention drawn to Stonecrest which has all of the amenities that TV has and yet little mention is made of the thousands of homeowners in other adjacent communities that have no recreational facilities at all.
Take that large residential area on the north side of Rt 42. No pools, no tennis or pick ball courts and so on.
Doesn’t it make more sense that any non-residents coming in and using TV amenities are likely to be from surrounding communities with no recreational facilities and not Stonecrest residents.
And those that are concerned that Stonecrest residents on carts may possibly cross over a short piece of amenity path remember that every TV resident that ever came over on a cart to play the Links of Stonecrest, was driving on roads paid for and maintained by Stonecrest residents.
Never the less, those that are focusing their attention on Stonecrest’s use of the cart path, are playing into the wall builders hands by diverting their attention away from the problem.
