I backed out of my closing.because I was in freaked out mode..not knowing what the future held..I still had a home to sell..and the Covid future looked bleak..so I lost my $10,000.ernest $$..because I was one week too early for the now Covid clause in the contract..I have since bought a home just last Thursday,even knowing all that I enjoyed in the Town Squares prior to Covid is still not available..in my eyes..TV is the beautiful place I want to Live..and will patiently wait for the environment to be safe for all again..I’ll have the rest of my Life to soak up All TV has to offer..I have no problem amusing myself..here..I move in 9/28.. happy to be a villager!!

With hindsight perhaps we should have done the same as we completed our design meeting on 3/6 returning to the UK on 3/8, and the borders closing on 3/18. We would at least have saved $ 40,000 on the FX, plus another $12k +++ paying the taxes, amenity fees, electric, water, lawn care etc. on a home that we are not allowed to visit as we are not allowed to enter the US, if we had put off our purchase until Covid was over.... So those that complain about not wanting to go to TV from up north should count themselves lucky - at least they have the choice whether to go or not. We WANT to come to TV, but are not allowed to.
And for those that say Covid is a problem in every state.. look to the rest of the world. It is not just a US problem its a world problem. The UK is in a total mess. People book holidays to Europe, only to then be told while they are away that the borders are closing and that they must self quarantine for 14 days... I mentioned the UK is a mess... our Government opened pandora's box, let and released the genie from the bottle in an attempt to save the economy... but has wrecked it in the process.... We face a nuclear winter of tax rises to repay the monumental debt the UK government has run up, this may have serious impact on when we can retire if we now have to pay more taxes - which are already way above what you guys and girls are paying. Office workers have found that they don't need to waste time commuting, Starbucks is moaning they no longer sell as many coffees! But we are going through an industrial revolution, commuting and homeworking is the next area to be hit (retail as we know is replaced by Amazon, cinemas by TV, Cable by Netflix).... And I would be in TV now working from home if I had the choice and not in London.... My 800 hours a year of commuting time that I wasted could be better spent on the golf course, in the pools or running the many lovely well kept paths.
TV has so much to offer, and when this is over I for one plan on making the very most of it.
