I HATE the conservativeness here, the unwillingness to hear another side to an argument. It goes against everything I've ever believed. I really don't understand preventing a politician coming into an area because they have a different viewpoint. I was taught that all views should be heard and understood to the best of my ability. I dislike the way I see the developer nickel and dime newcomers (once you've been here awhile, you know where to go for what). Those are my two major peeves.

All of that being said, I truly like TV and I'm glad I landed here. I've found a very comfortable way of life, a decent business, wonderful friends and great activities. TV is not my Shangri-La (hope you meant that rather than Shanghai lol) although we all know it is Gracie's, but it is a very good community with far more pluses than minuses.
I'm with you Red. I have many friends here in TV, and I love the activities. For me there are certainly pluses and minuses, but the pluses outweigh the negatives. Because someone is willing to voice their concerns about changes they'd like to see, doesn't mean they are unhappy, it means they are honest people who are trying to educate others who might be considering buying and want to give them the truth about the lifestyle, not the sales pitch they'll hear from the Villages salespeople. The first step in implementing change is admitting there is a problem. We've had discussions on this forum about the problems that do exist, and educating and informing people will hopefully make them aware, and will lead to changes which will benefit our community in the long run.
