I should keep a copy of my usual response to the unfounded concerns some have.

When we contracted to have our home built there were no homes South of 466.....not 466 A......466....no Arnold Palmer club or golf course....no Sumter Square...no Home Depot...Sam's Club....no shopping centers off Rolling Acres.....most of the chain restarants were not here......population was a little over 30,000.....and on and on.

Another note about the developer addressing growth? Once upon a time there was only one town square!!!!!!

More significant good has come from the more than doubling of TV in little more than 13 years (or less).

We have never in 13 years been unable to eat where we want to eat. Nor have we ever not gotten a t-time when we wanted to play golf.

Yes there is more traffic.......there are many places to live with significantly less traffic. And there will also not be the lifestyle offered here in TV.

The way the developers have designed the common areas, retail availability, village rec centers, regional rec center, etc......one can pretty much most of the time stay within 15 minutes of their home for anything they need. And when one wants to venture beyond....maybe 20 minutes!!!!

Just imagine the stories long time residents from the historic side would have to tell.

Has anybody been to anyplace that is really nice and popular that is not busy?

Some just have not adapted to the real pace of retirement......no reason to be in a hurry.
