"The Developers" are not the same developers who developed this community. The current batch of developers have a completely different vision for the community than the one you dealt with when you moved in. The current batch of developers didn't even have pubic hairs yet when their father took over the business, so no they haven't been doing this for 20 years.
The original developer was Harold Schwartz. He started TV with Orange Blossom Gardens in the mid 70's. His SON, Gary Morse came on board in 1983 and headed the company until his death in 2014. His son, Mark, Harold's grandson, took over in 2014 as President but had worked for the company before that and heads the company today. Both Harold and Gary were visionaries. Mark is no different. You roll with the times or you get rolled up. Keeping TV a viable place for retirees keeps our home values up. So, yeah, Mark Morse has been involved with TV for more than 20 years.
