OK, I'm a newbie. I love TV. I love the people of TV. I love the landscaping, the golf carts, even the silly gates and especially the greeters. I have yet to drive around and not see somthing that makes me smile. I thank the Schwartz and Morse families from the bottom of my heart for giving me this.

That being said, I understand what Fran is saying. The Morse family is in this for the money. TV was not created out of the goodness of their hearts but to make a profit. I'm sure they were well aware that there was a risk of sinkholes considering that risk is true of about 99% of Florida. They did foul up on the amenities issue and a lawsuit was required to straighten that mess up. However, they did post a couple of articles about it in the Sun and acknowledged that had the POA not stepped to right a wrong, the wrong would have been continued. They didn't say, but did imply it was not deliberate but rather one of those things that just hadn't been well thought out. No one is perfect, not developers, not attorneys. Some things are overlooked -- that's one of the reasons there are lawsuits. Taking our beloved buffalo away is a tragedy. Understandable considering the stupidity of some but a tragedy nonetheless.

So, my view is three cheers to TV and TVers as a whole! Five cheers to Harold Schwartz for having the vision to create TV. Three cheers to the Morse family for continuing that vision. Zero cheers for the business side -- don't care how good, honest, etc. you try to be, it's still business and the greed factor does step in and make things less palatable than the average person wants it to be.
