Now...these Bison Valley residents pay NO amenities for using facilities within TV. They also can golf at guest rates. What is up with this???? Does anyone know? I will definitely be calling the appropriate department to find out why this is allowed. I don't see anything fair about this. Do any of you have a take on this???
While I'm not yet a resident of TV, I'd like to comment on this issue because it will affect me in the future. I prefer that no annual passes be provided to persons living outside TV.

However, IF the developer intends to keep the policy as it currently is, I have a different problem with it. I'm a single woman who may have a long-term "boyfriend" (I dislike that term for people in my age bracket) who lives nearby, but outside of TV. While not "family", I feel I too should be allowed to have my "boyfriend" obtain an annual pass. If this isn't allowed, I would deem it as a form of discrimination against single persons.

Again, I prefer that NO annual passes be allowed. I stand by my other comments as well, however. If other singles feel as I do, this could open Pandora's Box. Those of you already living in TV may want to raise my issue (AP for long-term "boyfriend") to the powers that be so they recognize the issues they may face if they continue to allow AP's. This should give them even more reason to have NO annual passes for "outsiders".
