Nor do I think there are a lot of outsiders using the pools and facilities. And those people could have easily come in by cars anyways. The Villages could be a good neighbor by charging a realistic trail fee for those who want to get through a gate by golf cart and use the recreational trails.
So then, as a resident of The Villages, I decide to sell my cart and use my car only, I should get a refund equal to what you suggest we should charge outsiders. Correct? Maybe, I could only use my cart every other year or month.

What was it about The Villages that made you buy here over buying in Spruce Creek where you have a large group of friends?
