Caravan of Stonecrest Golf Carts
 

Late Friday afternoon i saw five Golf Carts from Stonecrest (had stickers on the carts) go through the gate (The Wall) off Paradise, each handing off a gate pass in order to get in. This is not fair where I pay amenity fees, and those people steel the rights of the villagers. Petty thieves they are.
I told the Gate keeper on Boon, he could care less that they come in.

Put the wall back up NOW! I knew this was a strong possibility

Mr. Morse....tear down this wall!!!! :doh:

If this is true a gate card was used illegally it would be deactivated. I would think the card reader would see multiple entrys in that very short time span.

Some Stonecrest residents have rental property here in TV and that's why they have gate keys and enjoy the ammenities here....just saying....

You need to read the OP for comprehension.

The Paradise Gate should be staffed with Villager Volunteers in official looking logoed golf shirts to check on Villages ID cards of those coming through that gate. Since that is a private trail, treat it as private for Villagers only.

The non-Villagers who attempt to come through that gate could legally be denied access to our private cart trails and sent back from whence they came.
:crap2:

Personally, I disagree with most of you.
I am an 8 year Villages resident. But if Stonecrest residents want to come here - FINE!
What's the worst thing they do. Add a couple carts to our cart paths or take up a couple seats on the square?
If the rec center people are doing their job, only Village residents should be enjoying the rec centers.
Almost everyone that enters the Villages from anywhere adds to the economy.

Reasonable people can disagree. I don't see this as a problem. Nice residents from Stonecrest coming to TV spending their money----I don't care if they drive their cars or golf cart or fly in!

Since when did we become so high and mighty?

I wouldn't be so happy if they fly in:1rotfl:

I've got an idea - leave your house key under the mat. I'll use the key to look around in your house and then pass it on to some of my friends so that they can look around also. Don't worry there won't be many of us and we're all nice people. Better yet, just take the lock off your doors. After all, we are America's Friendliest Hometown!

While I can agree that the StoneCrest folks are nice people, I find it is a violation of principle. If the gate was for everyone's access there would be no need for a gate card to open it. Using a gate card that does not belong to you is not honest and violates the purpose of having a restricted gate. If you are using someone's else's card, you know you are violating the intent of the gate and technically you are trespassing.
Our streets are built and maintained with public funds ; therefore, they are open to the public. Our MMPaths are built and maintained with the funds of those living in TV.
It's not complicated

Oh No! The Invasion has begun:sigh:

No thanks regarding a key
 

:beer3: No thanks regarding a key to my house but if Stonecrest residents would like a beer I would buy them one if they will reciprocate. Reasonable people will disagree---I just don't see it as a problem. Life is too short!

Just saying
 

What happened to "the friendliest town in Florida"? I think they went away once they reached that population goal of 100,000+.

Really too bad that people don't realize what difference does it make if they come to the Villages via golf cart or car or boat or plane and spend money in your city. Advantage point - money in your city.
