Also, when it was first designed and built the infrastructure was not in place to handle the amount of people who descend on TV in the winter months, the roads are not wide enough, however the parking lots are perfectly adequate for the amount of parking, but the stores are not big enough to accommodate winter influx of residents.
TV was meant to be a residential retirement community, who knew this would happen.

I completely agree. The vision of TV has changed over the years.
Where some people seem mistaken is that snowbird owners are full-time Villagers who choose to go somewhere else for part of the year. Therefore, TV is unnaturally empty. Since the houses in TV are built on the basis of full year round residency. This is quite pleasant for those who stay in those months. These “snowbirds” (full-time owners) seem quite gracious to me as they don’t say when they come back to the people who stayed in the summer, “You’ve had a quiet time, now it is my turn, get out of Dodge for the winter (go cruise, travel whatever, just leave”.
