The politicians want to keep their jobs. The residents of Wildwood don't want TV to decide what's best for them. There reasons to reject the flow of money that would go into city coffers. Besides, they already have a nice flow of money coming in thanks to the homes south of 466A.

I don't think Wildwood has quite gotten over that are no sidewalks going to the county offices. It gave them a taste of what being part of the TV community means and the taste wasn't all that pleasant.

TV may be able to ultimately build there but I do think there will have to be some serious concessions and I wouldn't be at al surprised if that means golf cart access for Wildwood residents (think sidewalks to the county offices from the city center, ditto to the new development). The trees are pretty much a non- issue IMO.
