Big city living offers many educational and cultural opportunities. Need I say more?

Many TV residents moved here because of what the "crowds" offer, i.e., the squares. golf, pools, clubs, etc.
The traffic is only heavy during season and within TV itself.

Other than the above, which certainly could never be classified as "big city living," living here is more like living among the country bumpkins of central Florida.

No one here is a tree, they can pick up and move. Whether we like it or not, life moves forward, more want what many of us here enjoy. Communities are going to grow. As they grow, more and more becomes available....shops, restaurants, educational opportunities, entertainment.

I chose to live here, I love it. Moved from southern CA where many of what you imply is missing here, was plentiful. Funny, I don’t feel deprived...lots of the same things available nearby.

Are you responding to my post (above yours right here)?
If so, it's obvious you either misread what I wrote or missed my point, or ???

I didn't say that anyone was forced to live here or anything even close to that.
I didn't say that anyone was "deprived."
What I did say was that TV "ain't no big city!"
Country bumpkins? Just an expression and not derogatory, but one would have to admit that TV is located smack dab in the middle of a country area.
Even the outlying roads indicate this (narrow roads, most of which are in need of repaving and without shoulders).

I mentioned nothing about being "deprived" so where did that come from?
I did not put down TV in any of my verbiage.

What I did say was that to compare TV to "big city living" is simply absurd, under any circumstances.
