Many people enjoy having those venues available but only occasionally attend them. This group might miss these venues, but enjoy on a more routine basis the people, particular sense of community and many splendid amenities that TV does offer. (I'd put myself in this group.)
Other people don't care for the artsy scene at all.
TV isn't right for everyone. That doesn't offend me.

Okay, I was one of those who had season tickets to ACT, the symphony and ballet in San Francisco. I went to museums and art galleries almost weekly. When I moved to TV, I knew I would be giving this up. Do I miss these things? Of course I do. I also miss San Francisco sourdough bread, Gallo salame, camping every August in Yosemite; riding my bike up Mt. Diablo.
In exchange, I get enough activities to choose from to keep me occupied from 7-9 daily; some of the best neighbors I've ever had; a chance to meet some of the most wonderful people in the world; and I SMILE every day!
Pick your needs. Decide what you truly cannot live without, what you are willing to give up to live here. If the cost (both emotional and financial) is right, then TV may be right for you even with the "lack of culture."
