why does being "big" make us more susceptible to gate encroachment? If anything, I would think being close to the center of a large Villages would make me less likely to be the target of person with "less than honorable" intentions, than being in the center of a small "community with gates"...kind of like being the middle fish in a large school of fish rather than the middle fish in a small school.

I have another thought for those who worry that TV is getting too big. Imagine if the TV developers quit developing. What would stop another developer from buying up that land and developing it? Would we, in TV, be better with other developers doing their thing around the current confines, or would we be better off with TV growing bigger around us?
I feel strongly that with the TV developers track record of success, with their well demonstrated ability to change with the times and desires of new retirees, we are well served by their continued interest in developing TV.
Someone is going to do it, it would be best for us if the people who are good at it continue to do it, rather than someone else, who may screw it up.
