Please explain who/whom you're referencing.
What a great way not to end a sentence with a preposition!

(okay, carry on...)

Leave the Squares alone. Parking is what it is. First come first parked period. If the Square is full park in a lot and walk period. If you want to beat the Drum on something move the Bus Depot that will free up a few more spots !

In general, momentum refers to the force or speed of movement. Momentum is usually defined in three states - acceleration, steady state, and deceleration. No where have I found Momentum being described as a majority, even if by one . I was referring to state one, acceleration. From where ? The local donut shop in SS. Rumor there has it the morning news may conduct a "man on the street" segment at the donut shop. Who knows when this subject will approach state 2. Over 1300 views thus far !

Not everyone has a golf cart. Unreasonable to restrict to golf carts only!

As my father would't say, this is turning into quite the kerfuffle.

Avoid the squares like the plague--no reason to go there , bad restaurants, and hate crowds

Golf cart parking only 5-9 pm ?. I would be in favor of limiting the parking in the squares to only golf carts (and bicycles?) during entertainment hours of 5-9 pm. That way, residents can sit in their carts and experience the entertainment and it creates 2-4 times as many spaces as parking cars. Cruising would still be allowed as would dropping off folks. Golf carts are the symbol of The Villages and should be encouraged. Visitors would continue to see this special perk of living in The Villages. Also, it would preserve the best spots for Villagers. There's plenty of parking for cars and trucks behind the buildings. The businesses should love more people being able to park in the square. We should not care much about what residents of other communities think of any change.
