We need law enforcement to make examples of these people. Actually, why is there NO parking encirclement? Been here almost 4 years and I’ve never seen a cop write a parking ticket in the villages.

Parking is at a premium, especially when the snow birds are here. Nothing against them whatsoever; I’m glad to have the crowds and revenue injections! However, I see way too many idiots that cannot parallel park to save their lives.

I agree, I think there can be a sense of entitlement.

The parking spaces here in TV will fit an extended bed, club cab pickup with ease. Why someone cannot fir a tiny car in there makes no sense.

If the motorcycle was there first then no cars should be in that space.

We've been in The Villages for almost a month now. The only grumpy people or complainers I've encountered are here on this forum. Everyone I've met in person has been upbeat and happy to be here. I guess I'll be spending even less time online now.

I don't know WHY they park like that, but if you want parking policed, it has to be on public land and you have to pay someone. One of the reasons this place is both beautiful and affordable is that the people who figured it out don't waste a lot of money. I love the developers. I have never met them but I hope to some day.

So, you’re ok with this style of parking, and you’re gonna give me crap for calling out idiot drivers? I’m not complaining buddy, I’m calling our rude behavior; HUGE difference.

So I can run stop signs, and ignore pedestrians in crosswalks?

I can’t believe people like you are so tolerant of rude behavior.

Okay, now that you've called out this deplorable behavior now what? Did it make you feel better? Do you think the people who parked poorly care what you think? Do you expect this will change their parking habits? What's the goal here?

I agree!

Welcome to The Villages! I wish you many, many happy years here.
