Default Re: What do Villagers have against long-term renters?

I can't imagine why permanent residents would resent long-term renters or snowbirds. I truly don't understand it. If snowbirds were in residence 12 months a year, restaurants and tee times would always be difficult to get.

Yet, snowbirds pay their own way 12 months a year, even though they only use facilities for a few months a year. They pay amenities 12 months a year. They pay (large) tax amounts 12 months a year because they're not homesteaded.

And then they fly back where they came from and don't bother anyone.
