Apparently there are a few who only have access by golf cart because they don't have a drivers license. There are a number of residents of TV who are in the same boat and without a drivers license. Indeed, this does severely restrict the mobility of some and that is one of the main reasons (but not the only one) for the fight to gain access to the medical and commercial areas of The Villages via a golf cart.

For some, the entire issue is mute if you purchase a Street Legal golf cart. However, you must have a valid Drivers License for a Street Legal Golf Cart. So a Street Legal cart does not solve the mobility issue for a few Villagers and Stonecresters.

If we were in this boat with them, perhaps we would look at things differently.
How was that documentation "...about 20 or so golf carts, maybe less..." developed - do you know it is reliable?

Perhaps the Stonecresters should be petitioning those politicians for an appropriate gold cart access point so that their medical/shopping needs can be met - rather than asking them for permission to enter property they do not own and to which the owner has denied.
