A couple points of no particular value--

Many folks, especially new ones, have great ideas for something that TV lacks. We've gone thru this a few times with a performing arts center vis a vis the Savannah Center. Walking trails, bike paths, covered pools, and similar enhancements have also been discussed. One commonality of all these things is that they would cost money. They would cost US money. Right now, the developer is apparently putting a Fitness thingie in at least every second big rec center. I would not willingly pay additional amenity fees to see more of them added to existing facilities.

Last June, July, and August, I heard no complaints about overcrowded fitness places. People, it's Snowbird season. There's a 45 minute wait to go to the toilet. TV cannot be built to provide ultimate service from Xmas to Easter and then be unused the other 9 months.

At the risk of being chastised for cynicism --- once again we have people who were lied to by the sales rep and never would have moved here if only . . . We have others who know of many places that have far better amenities at 1/2 the cost. Well, we love ya and like having you as neighbors. We realized everyone has a right to point out shortcomings. But if it's really that bad and you really can't stand it, remember that the road you came in on goes both directions.
