Why don’t they make them get out??

You are correct. Fixed it in my post.

In the past RA's were instructed when in doubt err on the side of hospitality. In other words be nice and don't upset people. I don't know if that has changed.

No one! Seen it many times at various rec centers, weekly. One person working at the center has many jobs, responsibilities, expectations, etc. They cannot sit at the front desk for their shift. The folks we know that work these shifts work very hard and do the best they can. Sitting at the front desk continuously to check ids as people come in cannot be done. Eventually, they can track down those that come in (mostly). If folks have no ID, they may be asked to leave, but they have already gotten in and have used the facilities (pools, kitchens, pool rooms, restrooms, etc).
Something should be done. What makes sense? Depends on how far you are willing to go.

Maybe, but it's inefficient. I have seen them come out to the PB court and card the 10 people standing in line while ignoring the 24 people on the courts. The proper way to do it is to card people as they enter, which would require a full time attendant at every court, pool, etc or an electronic scan system.

Human nature to trespass, steal, disrespect others and their property .... Yeah! That seems to be about right.

Told to me by a friend.

I have a plate in my head. No room for a chip. Could I have the ID chip put in my butt cheek?

How about a photo I'd card tattoo on your forehead. Everyone else can see you are a Villager and verify your id# in the on line database. Non-Villagers will be neutered on sight.

A bit more troublesome, but.
Before going to any pool, pickleball court, etc, resident signs in at the associated rec center and receives a daily dated use tag that can attach to users clothing. Color coded. Anyone not wearing the tag must leave the facility. Easy to spot by everyone. All Villagers may call for assistance to have non-compliant persons removed.
For after hours, pools, pickleball courts, and even golf courses could be monitored by motion sensors, or drones to notify Village watch centers of possible illicit activities.
Drone fliers, want to do some night spy ops?

We were at a recreation center just last week and the door person was out with a sign on the desk saying be back soon because they were out checking pool id’s, etc. We proceeded to the game room and later on the door person came into the game room and checked all id’s in the room.

This is honestly an extremely rare occurrence. This us around #102 on my list of concerns involving TV.

Thanks everyone for your input.

There is a lot of concern posted on next door and I thought it would be important to start a discussion here.

I've gotten a lot of good input on TOTV for many situations.

Thanks all!

Lots of talk on nextdoor with first hand accounts of "lists" for Rv people and those around us to get to pools, pickleball, Rec Centers for "free fun" for them. But we pay for it.

More and more are building around us.

I've heard many personal first hand accounts now that The Villages are a "free" place for pools, rec centers and other amenities.

You should get on Nextdoor. com and get into your "group" for your neighbors. Everyone is talking about this. Paying CDD per month but not keeping track of outsiders coming in to take it for free? This has got to stop at some point.

I’ve lived here for 4 years and never once have I gone to the pool, played pickleball, golfed, or done anything club related. This obviously bothers you as you already have another post about it. I was on Nextdoor for about 3 days until I realized all it was a b$@tchfest and most of them don’t even live IN the villages. Perhaps you should stay OFF of there and you’ll be less angry. And show me one other place in this country where you can live for under 200 a month is HOA, or amenity fees, whatever you want to call it, it’s very inexpensive. There are tons of people who live here that are under 55. How do you know these people aren’t relatives, or live here? How in the world could you possibly know that?
