Now, after seeing the many changes, almost all done from the perspective of profit and most often at the detrimant of what I value in terms of quality of life, I see the developers as just very good business people who know how to make tons of money. There's nothing wrong with that per se, but any notion that decisions are being made because it will make us happier has long gone for me.

The good news for us is that if we think about moving to any other place we can't think of one that is better. Our hope is that with continued changes that from our perspective are bad, that in 20 years we will continue to think that TV is the best place to be. That is why I titled one of my posts "Death by a Thousand Cuts". Any one thing, like the closing of KB, is not enough to make a great thing bad. However, a string of such changes may ultimately sway our view. It hasn't happened yet and when we talk to our friends and relatives, we still tell them we are living in a great place, because we are.

Well said. This place has a lot going for it, but is not perfect. We accept the imperfections at this point in time, but as time goes on, we may become less accepting.
