Personally, I'd be willing to pay an extra annual fee to TV for a Golf Cart sticker to have access to that Walmart etc. and a maintained path. It's always about $, so a reasonable fee for TV residents and the other communities would probably make everybody happy and a little more money in the Morse family's coffers which is always important. You know the merchants love the business and those that use it wouldn't mind a small fee. Not so different than a toll or paying for parking.

Instead, we have to pretend it's about all these other issues when it's just profits. No different than paying a parking fee. For that matter, why not sell access to TV amenities for the surrounding communities as well? No different than joining a country club. Price it high enough so that you don't get riffraff and make money to boot. Keeps the monthly fee for TV residents lower too. Problems solved!
sorry, no!
