So how big TV gets from that perspective has little if any effect on one's days.

Yes there is more traffic...sometimes waits at restaurants (I say sometimes because it depends if one has to go at peak times........then we have to wait at almost any restaurant worth going to/anywhere).

Probably the biggest issue is traffic.....the age of the drivers.....the impatience of the elderly (always in a hurry to get where they are going).

As was stated above the growth has brought to TV the many entities that would not give us a second look if we were still at 35,000 population.

No matter the size......the lifestyle here is much, MUCH better than where most of us spent our work-a-day years....and of course no winter (except January).

We loved it when we built our home in 2004 with 35,000 population. And we love it no less now at some where above 100,000.......and all the businesses that have located here because of the size.

I would venture a guess that more than 90% feel the same way!!!
I just checked with everyone.............it's 99.4%.
