Umm... Sorry, but no. One of the big marketing thrusts of TV is the lifestyle. They use all the
clubs & activities available to attract people. If people move to TV and then find the clubs they want to join have multi-year waiting lists, the activities they want to do have hour long waits (and then you can't get in), basically if TV can't provide the infrastructure to support all the activities they use to sell themselves, then that is a problem.
For example, my wife is a Disney fan. I know of two Disney clubs in TV. Both are full. There is one beach visiting club on TOTV's club list - it is full. If full clubs & long waiting lists are problems, then TV needs to figure out a way to help Villagers create chapters or some other mechanism to handle high demand.
The rec center activities being overwhelmed is another issue that also needs attention.
And I recognize that these problems can be seasonal due to the large number of snowbirds.
