I agree with you too Joe. It seems fair and not too much to ask.
thanks Joe for bringing up the issue

When you are right you are right and damn it your right

Everyone deed pays the same

You can say that again!

I again say this would be people who want to date someone outside TV but within the 50 mile radius. If someone lives outside the 50 mile radius, a guest pass can be distributed and used as needed for all visitors.

I don't think the issuing of another resident I.D. for single people is abusing the system as the vast majority of TV,is married.

I am not asking for the rules to be broken, only amended to be more just and fair.

After all, does married people pay more in amenity fees per household, than single people? If they don't and get issued two resident I.D's, then maybe they should pay double. How would married people feel about paying twice the amount of single people. After all, isn't two people using the same facilities instead of one.

Do they pay twice the amount for their house than single people?

The sword should cut on both sides. NO?

Are the amenity fees based on household plus number of occupants?

Just curious! When you bought your home in TV was it new or a resale? If it was a resale, did you purchase from a couple? If so, there would have been a second ID card relinquished. Something is wacky in their policy and should be rectified.

Yes, it was a resale. Was bought by a couple but the husband passed away prior to my purchase.

I think they should review this one particular issue, as it is not fair. IMHO

If amenity fees were to be paid per person, Joe, would you support snowbirds just paying amenity fees for the months in which they actually reside in the Villages?

Fair? To whom? To the way someone else thinks? What on earth would happen to the Villages if everything that people thought is not "fair" in their deed restrictions got taken to task and changed? You know - like lawn ornaments and signs. I understand your plight and that of other singles; but as has been pointed out before almost as often as saving seats and dog poop posts, we all knew about stuff like this when we moved here.

Perhaps a paper 'special event guest pass'/'date night guest pass' could be given to a resident on an as needed basis. No need to issue anything except a piece of paper and could be issued within the week prior to the event/date. No pictures to take, no records to keep, no monitoring/tracking to follow-up - pass expires at the end of the event/date. We all know how suspect some folks are that gate passes have been shared by residents with their off-campus friends. Could that happen with a permanent guest pass, too?

Would a special guest not be worth the effort to a single resident?

Where are you meeting these women that live just outside the walls of TV?

Please know I am trying to inject some humor here.

It is right for single people to have a higher tax bracket because we are a minority.
It is right for us to be unable to bring a date to a rec center dance in The Villages for the same reason.

This is the right solution. Resident passes are just that. For RESIDENTS. Guest "dates" should have a guest pass. No different than any other non-resident.

I was just about to make that very comment.

:cryin2::cryin2:Yes it is not " fair" for me to pay amenity fees for the 9 months I am not in The Villages. These fees should be picked up by residents like Joe who use the facilities at my expense while I am not in The Villages. NOT "FAIR":cryin2::cryin2:
