Default Help me understand

We haven't lived in TV long at all...bought preowned in late spring and have been here since mid-September. I've been reading these boards and getting a wealth of information from everyone, for which I am grateful. One thing that puzzles me, though, is the anger(?) I read in some posts towards the developers. Maybe we just haven't encountered any problems yet, but we feel TV is a unique and very special community. It is clean & beautiful, chockful of recreational activities to enable a healthy lifestyle, and has access to tons of shopping and restaurants. Is it perfect? Probably not...nothing is...but I see much more good in the community than anywhere else we've lived. In many cities, additions to lifestyle were pretty much financed by those in community through bonds & fund drives. This includes entertainment or performance complexes, libraries, YMCAs, etc. We were happy to give to these projects as they made our life better and more fulfilled. Some of the posters I've read seem to be angry at being asked to contribute and angry at the fees we pay? I have no problem with the developers making money as long as our lifestyle remains so satisfying...I surely don't expect them to do things out of the goodness of their hearts. Anyway...am I missing something? Is this a community-wide anger or just a few malcontents? Not trying to start a firestorm, just looking for clarification. Thanks, Cynthia
