Quite frankly, what attracted us to TV was the "sprawl". No, not that we like sprawl, but because we like all the good things that come with a large concentration of like-minded people. All of the other communities that we looked at lacked the critical mass to provide such things as the Life Long Learning Center or the vibrant town squares or the unending list of clubs and activities. There will always be people who are more comfortable in a small-scale community and that's great - no sense trying to convince them that they are wrong, because they aren't ... at least not for them. However, I have to wonder why people feel the need to go out of their way to denigrate a lifestyle that has been chosen by 70,000+ people just because it is not their cup of tea.
