I always get a chuckle when I read posts about all the negative things going on in The Villages and that all of them can be blamed on the nasty and dreaded "Snowbirds"!!
I am not a fulltimer, and would consider myself a snowflake, coming back and forth to TV all year long. We spend 7-8 months total in TV.
During the "non-snowbird" season, I have witnessed:
1. golf carts passing me out faster than my 19 MPH max speed;
2. dog poop treads on TOTV:
3. people reserving chairs at the squares and not sitting in them;
4. golf cart crashes;
5. car crashes;
6. cigarettes and cigar butts on golf courses, streets, squares, etc;
7. trash in many places besides trash receptacles;
8. people with attitudes or sour dispositions;
9. driving mistakes in roundabouts;
and the list goes on!!!
Non of us are perfect and that is what makes living in The Villages a beautiful experience for the 100,000+ residents that have had the good fortune to retire to this wonderful place.
