1) Full Time owners
2) Snowbirds who own, especially those that stay here 6 months+
3) Adult guests of owners
4) Renters of 1 month+ that come back year after year, usually to same home
5) Other renters of 1 month+
6) Adult caregivers, i:e: substance abusers living on mommy's couch
7) Guests that are teenage grandchildren, especially those of "permissive" grandparents
8) Noisy, whiny, brats age 2-10
9) SHORT TERM RENTERS I:E: AIRBNB TENANTS OF LESS THAN 1 WEEK.

Feel free to add a category or dispute that list.

i would expand your list to (10).

Right before your current #9, I would add:

Folks with handicap stickers/permits who abuse the system, think they can drive their carts anywhere they please and aren't required to rake bunkers. The same people who also believe they have the right to extend those considerations, to their non-physically challenged friends who ride with them.
