I would love if the Villages required a LARGE easily seen tag of some sort to be placed on all carts. I can't believe it would be very expensive to manage it. There would be so many great reasons to know who is in the golf carts if you have a reason to know. However, there would have to be someone who has the authority to actually do something about problems if any issues came up. One of the hardest thing in the Villages is to find someone who has the authority, everyone I have ever asked says 'I am not allowed to actually do anything." ie keep people from saving seats, make people obey any guidelines, etc. There was a guy one day at one of the pools who jumped into the pool in his underwear---the community watch person was there--but when some of the residents told the person about what was happening, his reply was that we would have to call 911, that the CW people aren't allowed to get involved. I personally observed a fight getting ready to happen at the square one night, walked all around the square, found one of the "events people" and told them about it. Their response was to call 911. Now I don't blame them if that is what they are told to do, but we need "someone" who has the authority to act when needed other than the police.
