On my last visit to The Villages where I was renting a home for a month with all Villages privileges I approached the Stonecrest gate in a car and asked to be admitted. The guard was pleasant but refused to allow me to enter the community.

It seems to me that if Villagers are not allowed to enter their truly gated community where the roads are maintained by the residents, Stonecresters should not have access to Villages amenities such as the cart paths; the roads which are public in spite of the gates, certainly, but not the cart paths. If they want access let them drive cars to where they are going. If they are on the cart paths they are trespassing.
