Default A Different Perspective

We had the same "sky is falling" attitude down here when they announced the lofts. If you can't handle change then this isn't the place for you.
Here is a different perspective in defense for those who are called "whiners", "complainers", and that "this isn't the place for you." TV is a wonderful community with great amenities and friendly people. 95% of the people I've met here are terrific folks, who realize they are nearing the end of life's journey and just want to enjoy their remaining years. (5% are kind of crabby old people.) The best two descriptions of TV I've heard are that it is "Disneyland for adults", and "like going to college without having to go to class." That said, no one wants something good they have taken away from them. Would anyone want an apartment building or a filling station built behind their lanai instead of the golf course view they bought? Yes, The Developer can do whatever they want, but that does not make it right if it negatively affects TV residents. Just because something is legal does not necessarily make it the right thing to do. We all want to be good neighbors, and probably so does The Developer. So kicking up a little fuss over actions that are detrimental to even a single home, let alone a neighborhood, is probably not a bad thing.
