My point is that the Developer has chosen to provide amenities for many types of people. There are golfers, pickleball players, painters, exercise lovers, paranormal classes, etc., etc. Something for everyone. All of us pick and choose which activities we prefer.

By allowing two dogs per household, the Developer has indeed made TV into a dog community. It is why many people bought houses in TV! However the Developer neglected to provide walking trails or dog parks for the thousands of dogs it allows. As a possible solution, I suggested the Developer should provide dog parks. I'm not suggesting glorious, manicured and wooded areas with ponds. I'm suggesting that the Developer should fence off a few scrubby, undesirable areas for dog parks. There is currently a lot of friction between those who own dogs and those who would prefer a community without them. By providing a few scrubby dog parks, I think a lot of the ill will felt by some people against inconsiderate dog owners would be eliminated.

And Fumar, I know you're going to suggest putting them in with the Buffalo, don't do it!
