If TV never crossed 466 headed for 466A there would not have been the recognition by national retailers that TV was worthy of their establishment(s).

As TV critical mass continued to grow all the more of these national establishments have chosen to open a business here.

When all gets said and done there is more traffic. A reality at any location/establishment/venue worth while or of interest to the masses.
The rest of TV is pretty a fairly distributed entity....new pools, golf courses, rec centers, common grounds, etc are put in to accommodate the increasing number of villages and residents..

As a result most of us conduct our lives in a rather tight
geographical diameter.
We get to meet more of each other when we go to areas like rolling acres shopping area, Sams Club or favorite restaurants.

If we did not have the attractive size/population there would not have been the shopping we have today. And many of us...about half of us....decided to buy into the lifestyle BEFORE many of what we have today were not even a rumor yet.

In my opinion as long as the developer continues with the plan and logistics of evolution to date....it will continue to get better and better.

The number of being over 100,000 is not really comparable to other "cities" because that is not what we are....THANK GOD.

I believe the majority who decided to locate here for the reasons they, did are still happy and content with the lifestyle. We are. And we have been here long enough to experience what was before and what has come along since quadrupling in size.

Definitely, overall..... continuous improvement.
