Making TV a true gated community would skyrocket the cost of living here. Once a community becomes truly gated, the community is responsible for all the streets which would include pot holes, repainting lines, repaving, etc. A provision would have to be made at all gates for a vehicle to turn around before entering each Village. Currently, there is no room to do that and it would cost a bundle.

Shimpy -- you are correct. We are from the same area as you. There are far more breakins in gated communities than non-gated. The belief is there is "better stuff" in gated communities.
