I agree with Indy. It's a social cancer. "If you snooze, you lose" attitude taken to extremes of uncivil behavior.
Unless a dedicated group of Villagers actually got together and arrived at a set time at the Squares and as a group removed these arrogant items and stayed there as a group, nothing is going to happen here. We're preaching to the choir, folks.
Now, if somehow before the build out, the powers that be find evidence of TV'ers telling outsiders (prospective buyers) of the unchecked unfriendliness and rudeness of Florida's friendliest townspeople maybe a real effort will be made to end this piggish selfishness.
The population is too big now for these venues to continue this way. The merchants don't care and won't themselves stop the seat saving. Didn't this come up several months ago? Wasn't it then put to bed by the events staff removing the attempted 'seat saving items' and ropes etc? What happened? Did they just stop?
