But for us, sans dogs, kids, and only a little junk, a development with fences everywhere would have been a real negative. So, first on our list was NO FENCE! Actually, really first on our list was an expansive water view, and I don't mean a pond. Since we don't have the funds to live on the water that got crossed off. Anyway we're very pleased that TV limits the fencing and keeps the views uncluttered.
I have lived close to the ocean most of my life. After so long it seems normal. Of course living near the ocean in the north is nothing like living in Miami. This will be the furthest away from the ocean we have ever lived. I have spent all my life using bridges to go where I need to go. I see the ocean almost every day of my life. Right now I am 10 minutes from the beach and work two blocks from a river. TV is a big change of sceenary for us. I will probably miss the smell of the ocean and the cry of the seagulls.
