So the 49% dictating to the 51% is better?

Why so ultra sensitive constantly ?
LOL

I am anything but..."ultra sensitive constantly."

I simply like facts...and the truth.

Speaking of which, please point out which part of your statement below in post #167...was NOT a "sweeping condemnation."

The thread is about pros and cons of golf carts only in the squares (plural like 3). Can we steer this back on track perhaps with a concentration on safety. I am wondering if the higher IQ's have broke the code yet. I suspect they have.

I see this as a bias toward listening to the music, which is fine, but there are people who want to patronize the merchants and the vendors also. Having to walk from the lot would be a great imposition on those who have mobility issues. The hospital shuttles can sometimes take up to 20-30 mins. Doesn't that violate the Americans With Disabilities Act?
I think it works well the way it is!

Not everyone owns a golf cart. Does that mean I’m banned from the square. Pretty arrogant assusumption. My sports car is smaller than many golf carts so would I be able to share a golf cart spot?

Of course you are not banned.

Pretty arrogant for making an "assusumption"...that any people are proposed to be banned.

Unless you are a very talented automobile, that can read and type, in which case...you have my undivided attention and awe.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but the roads around the squares are owned by the counties they are located in. You would be hard pressed to get a county to write an ordinance banning taxpayers' vehicles from the roads.

Along with all the other reasons to not go golf-carts-only, this is the clincher.
