TF, TV is not perfect, neither is TOTV. TOTV does show some of the negatives of living here and, yes, some carry the negativity to an extreme. However, you don't hear that people can't sleep because of the traffic. You don't hear that the dog issue causes odor or is constantly found on the bottom of shoes. You don't hear that people can't go to the squares and have a good time regardless of the event. The one negative that really can't be reconciled is the driving of the roundabouts. Some people just don't get it. Most of us are very aware of this and simply drive very carefully (probably a few steps above defensive driving).

I would think that anyone truly interested in purchasing a home in TV would be doing themselves a disservice avoiding TOTV. It is good to know the negatives in an area as well as the positives. Makes for a much more informed decision. Another thing to consider is the simple fact that while some may rail about certain problems, most of us love TV -- the good, the bad and the ugly.
