Agree, everyone should do their research before making a major decision to relocate anywhere. I probably went way overboard with my homework and research on TV. Almost daily, for five straight years before relocating here, I was online reading, watching, researching everything and anything I could get my hands on regarding TV, the three county area, and Florida in general. By the time of my lifestyle visit in the summer of 2022, I felt I had a real good handle and understanding of TV, how it operates, deeds and restrictions, costs, demographics and politics of the area, construction standards, future growth plans, weather and climate, etc, etc.
No location is perfect, and you can pick apart any community. The only surprises to me after moving here have been mostly positive ones (usually in areas where my high expectations were exceeded). For those who are not happy here, I am truly sorry that your homework and research did not fully “vet out” your concerns. TV is not for everyone, but for the vast majority of us who have made this community our home, we feel this place is pretty special!
