Don't make a decision on whether or not some people like snowbirds. You'll find some hate/resent snowbirds, others love them. I used to live in San Francisco, obviously a huge tourist town. In all honesty most residents actively disliked tourists although a lot of the money came from these tourists. The tourists had a great time, regardless. Here, I'd say it is more 70/30 for snowbirds. Whether you meet someone who dislikes snowbirds or not, you'll still have a great time and make some great friends -- folks who will anxiously await your return.

And I'm one of those who happens to love snowbirds and hate SF tourists.
