Family Feud

I noticed in another site a complaint from a resident from a small village. He decided to ask people from his village what they thought of the complaint. It seems one individual is disturbed because other people are allowing their relatives that own RVs and motor homes to park near them while visiting in a guest spot. The complainant says that these are terrible to look at and they are denigrating the small village that they come from. He asks if there is a way to prohibit them from parking near their relatives. He claims the people that live here have forgotten why they moved here. I think that people moved here thinking they would not be chastised for entertaining relatives for a few days. Most people enjoy their relatives visiting occasionally and if the particular relative is trying to sell his vehicle and he has a sign posted in the window really shouldn't make any normal person unhappy. I happen to be one of those relatives that visit. Happily, my relatives look forward to my visit. The question: Does the complainant have any relatives that could visit? Is that why he is against other people welcoming their visitors regardless whether there is a for sale sign on their vehicle or not? Let's be happy for the people that have relatives that visit them.

The problem is usually where to park the RV. Century Village was not set up for this kind of vehicle at least in most most buildings parking areas.
Most people do not object to visitors its the visitors vehicles that seem to be the problem. I guess what is needed in cooperation between the person who is visiting and the person being visited. Did you inquire in advance whether there was place to park your vehicle before you came? Was the guest spot you parked in big enough to handle your vehicle without it sticking out in the road or taking up more than one guest space?

I believe the complaint about for sale signs did not refer to people who visit, it was about residents trying to sell their vehicle. Again is Century Village supposed to be a residential living community or a used car lot? Depends on how you look at it I guess.

I would be laughing a little heartier if I only had a cup of Dunkin Donuts instead of this cheap stuff I am sipping right this very minute!

Ah! Bob Sage, how polite you are. The key phrase is “really shouldn't make any normal person unhappy.” Any parking spot issue sends CV’ers ballistic. One Wellington resident leapt from their condo to scream at the AMR vehicle that stopped briefly to unload a wheelchair patient returning from the hospital “You cannot park there!!!!”

If WPRF, or others, could make an area available to park RV’s (for a price) I think most of our RV friends would be happy to use it.

Unfortunately there does not appear to be any place large enough to be set aside for parking of recreational vehicles in the village. ( Unless we fill in the lake).There are times when there are not enough
parking spaces available at the clubhouse and people park in the three lots owned by the medical plaza,front of building, back of building and by dover ( yes the medical center owns the lot by dover).IF more parking was to be provided somehow, is the first need for visitors OR for parking space for people who go on bus trips?
