Oh well…….I will just go ahead and say what I was trying to say — but will say it in a whole buncha words. 
My opinion? (I am ducking now.) I think those who have been in TV for a while, and are settled in, have seen the best of the place, but can continue to enjoy it, if the place still works for them.
I think those thinking of buying in new better be aware of how huge it is and the issues that can cause. The ever-touted “Lifestyle” has been changing due to the unending sprawl.
I also think the damned AirB&B routine will not go away. It used to be that some people bought before retirement and used longterm renting to defray costs for a while. That was accepted.
But, now, it looks like buying is happening for the purpose of ongoing renting, short or long. It will never be reined in because the developer does not care. It’s about selling houses because that is where the profit is and, of course, there can never be enough profit.
Any thought of residents being able to change that is not likely to have the outcome of David v. Goliath.
The “family vacation” thing seems to be catching on, too.
TV will work for some retirees, but the place sure is not what it used to be. Potential buyers just need to be aware that maybe, just maybe, bigger is not better. The failing thing will be relative to the individual’s take on it. And ‘take’ might be the operative word in that one.

Agree, and it is a shame to see such a wonderful concept go down the drain due to need for money.It seems to me that no matter how much wealth the very rich have, they always seem to need more. The answer may be that great wealth brings great power, and if you have power you can basically do anything you want to do and break any rules you want to break. Unfortunately, there is no amount of talk that will change anything at this point. My home is in the mid to northern part and we seem to stay pretty stable, but many of my neighbors are passing and who knows who will buy their homes.
