Default What do Villagers have against long-term renters?

I just recently moved here but wanted to rent for a year or two so that I could decide which village was the best fit. I told some people with whom I was playing bridge that I was in a long-term rental. I was immediately told how much they disliked renters; that had they known TV allowed long-term rentals they would not have moved here and on and on. Obviously, I found this extremely rude and it is making me have second thoughts about the "friendliest" hometown.

Don't people realize that the owner has factored in amenities, taxes, HOA fees and the like when charging the rent. In reality, we more than pay for our share.

So, I am curious why long-term rentals are in such disfavor (we obviously wouldn't get the best tee times for long so I can't believe that is the issue).
