So sorry you feel that way, I play golf at every exec since 2010 and have found 99% of everyone is friendly, enjoyable and curious as to “you drive how long to get here”?

But that 1% of those who complain that TV is too big, or not friendly, rarely leaves their home base by more than 5 miles. Yet is very unhappy about the new neighborhoods.

To give an example two guys at Hilltop were rattling on about how ridiculous all of these new areas and it needs to stop. It’s infringing on our lifestyles by having so many people.

I asked when they traveled to LSL was it just too many people?
Answer “Never been there”

So did you find the people at Brownwood not friendly?
Answer “Where’s that”

The few who have traveled to Brownwood even from SS area, many thought it was just to far of a drive.

In all the years I have asked why are you so unhappy about the new build, only a few have traveled below 466. I remember after renting in LSL for years we bought our first house in Pennacamp. We were so excited, and yet everyone who asked where we bought thought we had just thrown our money away.

“You are never going to sell that house it’s in left field, not close to anywhere, that neighborhood will have empty houses for years. You got swindled”

Well that didn’t happen.

So I ask from those who no longer think this is a community of people is friendly, do you find the younger residents are not respectful of your age, and that’s why it’s not friendly
