The question to me is not the size of TV, but whether the owners are willing to build the exec golf course, town squares, etc to accommodate this growth. Apparently it is "profit, profit profit" as the motivator. Just look at the tiny town square in the southern district or the lack of exec golf courses constructed in the past 10 years and the answer is obvious
Golf IS decreasing in popularity with younger people!
