[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

I don't think that anyone has a problem with people from surrounding communities or anywhere else coming to the Villages and enjoying what we have here up to the point of the amenities that we pay for.

People do complain about the "snow birds" and the additional traffic and crowded restaurants, but I've never heard anyone say that outsiders shouldn't be at the squares, eating the restaurants or shopping in the stores here. More power to them and as you say, it injects more money into our community which is good for everyone.

The objection is to when outsiders are coming to our recreation clubs, swimming in our pools and playing on our executive golf courses.

When all of those tourists came to your town and spent all that money, you might have not liked all the extra traffic and crowds, but you put up with it because you knew that it was good for the community. But you did not let them park in your driveway or sleep in your house.

I see the rec centers, pools, exec golf courses as sort of a private property open only to the "owners". The same as your house.
