When I was 15 years younger, I bought in Tampa. I just bought in TV last year, when I got old enough to have different needs and wants.

Quite honestly, I would never consider buying in the southern area of TV. No ocean, no golf, no Town Squares. It's just a subdivision like any other.
The way I understand it is that golf is NOT very popular with generations younger than the baby-boomers. They seem to prefer the more rigorous sports like soccer, rock climbing, and hang gliding. Golf is from the "tea and crumpets" more docile era. Plus golf uses up too much land and fertilizer, which can run off and cause algae blooms. Plus golf courses eliminate many trees that are needed to keep metro areas cool and prevent excess CO2 from developing.
