Don't complain - either start a club here for others who may like to join or find what you need off-campus but don't complain...move. I hate when I hear my coworkers (who live here) complaining about TV, I always tell them, 'Feel free to move'. But they never do. I think it's safe to say, some people just like to complain. Sadly, it seems the complainers are always the loudest, though.
Are you really that afraid of of neighbors having opinions other than yours? While you may be in lock step with the developer, many of us are trying to make TV a better place and take exception to some of the negative changes or shortcomings. As I've stated before, there was good reason for the $40 million lawsuit and other protests by those not wearing blinders or afraid that we didn't buy in a 'perfect' community. Try reading back issues of the bulletin at the poa4us.org website for enlightenment of happenings before you arrived.

Take a look around and ask why so many have bought villas in north central Florida vs expensive larger homes. It could be they have limited finances in retirement and moving would be a hardship or impossibility. Improving the community is the proper course, not moving. Perhaps you are the one who should consider relocating if you cannot stand criticism of your cherished community.
