I honestly don't mean to come across as mean, disrespectful or confrontational but I really don't understand where this reply comes from?
If all it takes for you to become aghast and shake you head in horror is a few comments from strangers that you don't agree with, well, my word!!
So I'll ask some questions for you to clarify.
Who has pointed something out that has caused upset?
Who has said that retirees staying longer than 6 months is an issue?
Older people who have very little to live on but can still afford to have and run two homes along with all the monthly bills that entails, really that's your argument? If I were in that position and had very little to live on I'd probably sell my second home instead of paying thousands a year that I don't need to pay out.
Where has it been mentioned about people not paying taxes correctly?
I am a legal resident in Spain, yes because it is the right thing to do, it is the law. If people want to take the risk and break the law that's not my concern, the risk and punishment that comes with it is down to that person. Are you suggesting we should flout rules and laws to suit ourselves?
How do you know the Spanish are the only ones not paying their urbanisation fees? Have you seen the official accounts? Is it just gossip? If the official accounts show this surely the president should be taking this up with anyone not paying.
Finally I don't think anyone who has replied on this thread gets joy out of causing distress, you can't just sugar coat things. If you are asked a straight and honest question it deserves a straight and honest answer surely? Whether or not it's the answer you want or need to hear.
Again, I apologise if you find this upsetting I really don't mean it to. I'd just like to find out why you felt you needed to post your reply.
