For Peach Tree residents it costs one amount for the sticker and for non-residents it cost another dollar amount. Problem solved.

Peachtree City, Georgia, (the correct name) sounds like a really nice place. A little too far North for my taste, but it looks like a nice town.
Interesting comparison with The Villages, however.
Peachtree City has 90 miles of golf cart paths for a population of under 35,000 people.
The Villages has around 100 miles of multi-modal paths for a population of around 100,000 people.
Perhaps that demonstrates one rationale for not wanting to add more folks to our paths.
This is particularly in light of the February 2003 Golf Digest Magazine article about the traffic congestion caused by Peachtree City's golf carts in an article entitled
"Golf Cart Gridlock".
But, again, what is really relevant is that a person who wants The Villages' lifestyle should buy a home in The Villages.
It's really that simple.
