There are really 2 different psychologies working. The year around resident has
significant respect for the care of The Villages while the snow bird does not own the house so is less apt to give it the same respect as a year round resident. Some of the Snow birds view this is as a vacation which gives an extra does of entitlements. This should not be considered unusual but rather the different psychology of a resident vs various form of "visitor". I believe to deny this is to deny what is a normal difference in 'care of the villages". The rewards of having visitors vs residents is an interesting debate? If you lived here in July you would see the significant difference in traffic, waiting in line almost everywhere while in July you can just move around without that kind of frustration. That is a way of life. I guess my greatest concern with the Dec-March visitors is their disrespect for speed, the lack of following the law regarding golf carts, (e.g.speeding, allowing kids to drive them, disregarding other carts, etc.) Of course we have this a little in the summer but no where near as in the winter months. It's the "vacation" attitude which governs that behavior.
