If that is balance, I would tend to disagree.

Some people on TOTV years ago said TV would become a ghost town after build out. I'm still waiting for build-out to occur and the place hasn't gotten run down as they predicted it would.

I guess some people have a gloomy outlook on life and can see only the negative. I saw TV about ten years ago and it's still kept in immaculate condition and has gotten much bigger and better.
A famous quote: "If you build it, they will come"

As far as a "ghost town" goes, there will always be a need for clean, safe, well designed retirement property, and the population is only growing

As far as Blechman goes, I guess he didn't notice TV shuts down at 9PM when he named "Mr. Midnight"
