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
Wow, I just returned from Orlando and this thread went south too.There is no community wide anger, and there is the same percentage of malcontents that you find in most places. (at least here at TOTV) I rarely hear complaints from people in person. I sense many of the complainers might be long time residences. As someone said, TOTV is a great platform for people to "voice" their complaints, as most people would not want to hear it in person.

The Morse people had a vision and everybody has an opportunity to buy into it. They have thought of so many wonderful things and most of it is 1st class. I thank God for the Morses and Murdoch but I'll pass on Hitler.
