Before purchasing here I tried to really look beyond the "paradise" description. I read all I could on TOTV and talked to people here each time we visited. The vast majority we spoke with loved it here, but the ones that didn't seemed to to not like being away from their familiar surroundings or family. Some had never lived in a community with covenants and didn't like the restrictions covenants impose. Some didn't like the politics. Many of the folks who weren't totally enamored with TV didn't "hate" it here, but wished they still had kept a place "back home".
