To me, the developers are what they are -- a family that had the foresight to come up with a good concept and the ability to implement it. No question that I would not deal with TV for purchasing a piece of property unless I truly had no choice (I have a thing about not being able to negotiate the price, closing costs, etc. when purchasing a home). I don't like their politics since I seem (???) to be diametrically opposed to their conservatism. There's the negatives in my mind.

The positives are the creation of TV. The ability to keep the majority of residents happy most of the time. We are relatively safe here. Our streets are clean. There is enough open space to make TV a beautiful place no matter direction is taken. We are well entertained for incredibly reasonable prices. The Schwartzes gave us all of that.

They've earned their money and power. They certainly have a right to keep as much of both as they wish and have the ability to do so. We may rail against them at times, but we'd be fools to not realize we owe them a huge thanks.
