[QUOTE=Russ_Boston;239691
The one thing we haven't mentioned here is that in both recent fires the Villagers true spirit came out and these people were welcomed with open arms into their neighbor's homes for as long as they need. Truly a communal spirit in TV![/QUOTE]

This sharing spirit is something we appreciate and would seem somewhat natural and expected, not an exception, for several reasons:

1. Most people move here not to get 'away' but to be 'near' their peers.
Inclusivity not exclusivity.
We are paying a premium to be 'included' into activities
2. Almost all homes are occupied by a minimum of one and maximum of two people
3.Almost every home is set up for guests

It all fits in to the plan.

Our rural homes outside TV are not part of such a planned community but we belong to several 'Warm Showers' and
'Hospitality home' listings in the RV, Antique Car, and Bicycle travel worlds
