We have 3 other homes that we go to and enjoy and those communities don't mind the extra revenue that comes into these areas. Remember folks without these intruders you would not have the lifestyle that you have at TV. IMHO without the extra revenue from these people most of you would not be able to afford to live here because the expenses would be forwarded to the owners
I am a relatively frequent participant of TOTV and I have never seen the word "intruder" used to describe non full time residents.

Of course you may find some remarks by a few relative to what ever ails them and relative to "snow birds".

The message sent is as though it represents the majority here in TV....which it most certainly does not. Sounds like a bit of sour grapes as well.
