I take that to mean Valet Parking annoys you. Twenty golf cart spaces are only ten parking spaces.

Many people have had joints replaced and need it temporarily. We all might need it temporarily for this or that and we have no handicap sticker.

There are always two sides to any issue.

WOW! That's a lot of changes.

4 parking spaces will NOT hold 20-24 golf carts.

GOLF CART HANDICAP ONLY NO CARS.....really? What makes you think we all drive golf carts????

What few bucks are you referring to? Did I miss someone handing out bucks??

One car space will hold four golf carts when properly parked. I'm counting five to six 'auto' spaces reserved for golf carts. It's all in the math. The bucks I was talking about was that the $5 you spend for parking a cart, pass it on to an eatery. Sorry, I thought I made myself quite clear.

Sorry. Guess I misunderstood. Why are you paying for valet service if you don't want it????

This has been clearly explained by Bchbum and in other threads.
If no-one uses valet parking, the idea won't fly.
If people use valet parking, then clearly, it's a needed service.
I don't understand the indignation.
No-one is being forced to use Valet Parking -- IT'S OPTIONAL.

Remember in the 60's and they tried to see how many folks could fit in a phone booth?

I'd love to see you try to fit 20-24 golf carts in the 4 spaces that are being used for drop off and pick up.

We do not use valet parking. My post was my opinion to say that our money could be used better elsewhere. Just came to me like a lightning bolt (ha,ha,ha) but why not park behind the LSL sales office and offer a stretch limo golf cart to bring those that need it back and forth?

Sure......

We're talking 5 bucks for a golf cart and 10 for a car....most people in the squares spend more than that on Happy Hour or dinner or a movie or any other number of things. It's not the National debt. For those that find that way too expensive, then park in a lot as you normally do and you won't be impacted. Just let everyone do what works for them.

Becasue-- a number of Villagers are like the Faculty in a college.

One college President defined his Faculty for me as "A group of folks who believe otherwise" Rationality is not particularly relavent!

Do they get there at 10 in the morning and tie two chairs together?

That is so true!

What the he**, they don't need to use valet parking, so they don't want anyone else to either?

IF YOU DONT WANT TO USE VALET PARKING........THEN DONT!!!!!!! Why do some of you think it's your right to deny a service to others that need it just because you don't!

I'd say GROW UP......but unfortunately, if you haven't by now, you never will.

That's your right. If you don't like valet parking, then don't use it. But why do you feel you have a right to deny others??
