Only here do I hear negative things about people under 55 living here. Our neighborhood has many people still working part-time because they don't want to be idle, they want to let retirement investments grow more, and they don't want to be a golf addict.
We also have a good number who continue to work by computer at their career jobs but from afar, and we have small business owner neighbors, too. Who doesn't want neighbors like this who work and pay taxes/SS/medicare that benefits the whole country????
Everybody we know LIKES younger people coming to live here. Most 20-somethings I'd venture to say are here with a purpose such as working to earn college money and qualifying for in-state tuition.
It looks like many here are clueless about what it's like to have a $1,000/month student loan payment with a new grad income of $30-35,000/year and rent at min. $750 with a roommate, plus car and insurance and gas costs. Suggesting going to DC/NY/Boston with triple the cost of living is just oblivious.
To the o.p., there are plenty of young people or young-MINDED people in TV. Your daughter will be fine here and I'd figure she's not planning to make TV her residence for the next 60 years, but for just a few!

altogether. Most of the folks I know here feel that younger folks have younger ideas as to what "fun" means. This being said the older some of us get the quieter we prefer our lifestyle. The young folk tend to look towards a more active noisier atmosphere. While your take is quite negative mine is base on reality.
