Predicting The Next Complaint
 
I’m predicting that the next complaint posted on TOTV will be about the POA littering our driveways with their rag.

Any other predictions?

Given the time of the year, it’s as certain as clockwork that the snowbird complaints will be ramping up at a steady pace over the next three months.

Are you cheating? Did you get one on your driveway today? :laugh:
I'm going to go with "can't get a golf tee time". It's all the rage on the other site right now.

I thought the POA delivered only to those who are paid-up members?

It's the one from Lady Lake I hate - the editor is obviously only running the "paper" to spout his far right views to everyone. He must have money to waste! His are certainly unsolicited and I have been unable to stop them, despite asking several times.

One has the availability to opt out of print thrown on their driveway

Come on now, we haven't had a good dog poop thread in at lease a week now, that's always sure winner. We should all get our dogs DNA tested for the dog poop police to track us down...

(sorry, it's 4:30 AM, I'm on a cruise ship and on my second cup of coffee, I couldn't resist...)

Bad 'bird drivers.
Long lines in restaurants.
TRAFFIC!!!!!!

'Tis the season for all three.

They are still paving Rt44 and sidewalks are still not open. returning after 6 months though this might have been completed by now.

vintageogauge 11-07-2023 08:48 AM

The sidewalks are open, I saw two golf cars driving on them Sunday afternoon. At least someone is using them.

Someone will complain about how low the water levels are in water features. Well, maybe not the golfers….

I think the POA Newspaper is very valuable and offers the only alternative to the Developer point of view. Just would like to opt for an electronic copy.

The only "Rag" I don't subscribe to is the The Daily Sun

What steps do you have to take to opt out?

Two Bills 11-08-2023 05:34 AM

After Christmas, with a full house, definitely T times will be an issue.
Towards end of January, early February, without a doubt, poor golf course conditions.
Dog poop, roundabouts, waiting times/lousy food in restaurants are certainties.

My own personal complaint is those who "could care less" do not state the percentage they "could not care less."
As for their, there and they're, don't get me started! :icon_wink:

ROCKETMAN 11-08-2023 05:43 AM

The poa has done some good things. Years back they got a 15 million dollar settlement from the developer for upkeep of rec centers. Hoa is developer backed and never has a bad thing to say. They do have good clinics and social events.

If you actually open the POA paper, there are instructions for how to opt out.

Pgcacace 11-08-2023 07:06 AM

Just throw the paper away. 😂

The Villages doesn’t have an HOA.

Yes, you can stop the delivery of the POA newspaper, whether you are are member or non-member.

I did this a while ago for my home.

Follow this link. You will need to create a Guest account, and update your delivery preferences:

POA of The Villages | Property Owners Association of the Villages

Note: I am not a member of the POA. And yes, the paper is delivered each month to almost all the homes. $$$ for the publisher.

Yes many homes have their residents away, and the paper lies on the driveway for days, weeks, or months.

The other site is also preoccupied with "We pay our fees, why are we limited to 2 golf carts?". It's amusing---these people get the same obvious answer 100 times and yet are still questioning it. Slow learning curve?????

But it is fun watching them get roasted in the comments!

How about..."I'm so ticked" they closed the movie theatres"?? We haven't had many of those lately.
This thread though has given me so chuckles this morning. Laughter is THE best medicine for not complaining!!!

SusanStCatherine 11-08-2023 07:59 AM

Opt out of delivery

The birds shouldn't be allowed to complain at all.

I don't know…it’s been awhile since a good old fashioned dog owner bashing.

BobbyM46 11-08-2023 08:51 AM

What happened to the stickers on the mailbox complaints? That was a good one!

golfing eagles 11-08-2023 08:52 AM

It's been years since we saw a "seat saving at the town squares" thread

Lisas1031 11-08-2023 09:21 AM

Sure they do. It just goes by a different name.. ARC or CDD compliance.

Decadeofdave 11-08-2023 09:46 AM

It interesting that in the summer all the "snowbird" violations still happen. ie. Bad driving, drunks, accidents, perps, dog poop, etc.

Bridget Staunton 11-08-2023 05:34 PM

Very much like the POA paper I can walk to the driveway to get it. POA is a valuable resource fair & honest
