Grandpa’s statue is in SS square. Nothing could be clearer. Retail & restaurants will need to evolve in TV just like they will in the rest of America. Since the demographic glut of baby boomers are all over 65 now, things will need to change. I’ve looked at several other places like OTOTW, Dell Webbs & Margaritavilles Ranch & others. TV remains hard to beat. Controlling taxes & fees will be critical IMO. Seniors need to be frugal & have controllable costs to have security & peace of mind TV has done a stellar job compared to others IMO.

What is OBG? ( I know I'm going to be embarrassed after you explain it to me), but anyway I see your point.
My point, which I didn't express very well, is that what we see going on in SS is change, but not necessarily "struggle".
Certainly, it would not bode well for the developer, as they build new areas down south to have older areas appearing decayed and neglected. What I was meaning to convey was that what the vision was in 1994 is not what is needed now, and that is partly due to the fact that they aren't selling neighborhoods in the near vicinity, and that a lot of what was available there in the 90s was not competing with what is now available on 441 and 466.
