Deb, I agree with your position. Lots of the old not-in-my-back-yard syndrome. I can't imagine how naive someone would have to be to see that large swath of land alongside the hotel and across from that HUGE empty parking lot and think it was going to remain a buffalo pasture forever. It's going to be developed by the evil developer that developed all the rest of the wonderful things in TV. What has the developer done wrong already? Some may find fault in certain areas, but overall everything seems to add to the desirability of TV. Look around at the open space that will stay. The golf courses (yes, of course there are golf courses that won't be developed), the "preserves" that are all around, even just the roads and pools and rec centers - which aren't open space per se, but still not developed with folks living there. Overall the entire effect is positive, and apparently I am not alone thinking that.
IMHO, if the developer puts something in place in that empty cow field, it will be a boon to the area, only making it a little more desirable to be here. I know he (they) are making lots of money, and it's in their continued best interest not to :edit: it up so they can keep doing so.
