Snowbirds can go home now - thats good - I can get a tee time at a reasonable hour

I will ignore your rudeness. We are snowbirds who pay taxes and support businesses here in the Villages. If you weren’t so dense, you would realize that a third of the courses are closed thereby making tee times a bit more difficult for everyone including those darn snowbirds. It’s people like you who give year-rounders the snooty reputation.

Just what we seniors need.......instructions and direction clear as mud.😩

Can someone post a link to that Rec News issue? Or at least tell me if the Enrichment Academy and any club activities will resume in the clubhouses during the first phase? Thanks

Is there anyone else that finds that as Stupid as I do? From what I’ve read, about the only additional activities are swim or walk laps in a pool-with a mask. And fish-with a mask, or walk on a park with a mask.

Many people use the rec centers just to relax and/or use the free wifi.

Really??? They buy homes and pay the same amount of taxes that year-round people pay. If you don’t like living there because TV has grown so much, my suggestion to you is move. These same people support all the area restaurants, grocery stores, etc. They keep people in the area heavily employed during the times they are able to be there. I can’t believe the arrogance of your comment. Your not entitled to anything more or less than the snowbirds are. A lot of the snowbirds choose to head North during the summertime where the temperature is more bearable for them and to be around and enjoy their families. SMDH!

The reason they say that is because when "Snowbirds" are not here their is less traffic, golf when you please, prices go down, walk into a restaurants and sit at a table, etc., etc., etc....

Pools are open for Residents not children and grandchildren who should be in their own homes and therefore not here!

Sounds to me like they should be thankful for and love snowbirds. If there were no snowbirds, and everyone was full time, It would always be crowded.

How about SnowBirds stay year round, and then see what how that effects your life. Wouldn’t that be perfect for those ugly comments on those who stay for a few months, pay the same taxes as you, and then give you 9 months of bliss of less people.

It also lists the restrictions and recommendations for the use of those amenities. Too extensive for me to list here.

I'm wondering who's going to do all the 'Enforcing' of the rules/restrictions and what the punishments might be. Is someone going to continually be checking on each of the pools to be sure no one is moving their chairs closer than 6 feet?

That does not make it right!
