Blechman, however, would like the GOVERNMENT to DENY people (those over age 55) the right to choose the covenants they wish, and instead FORCE them to accept the covenants it desires to IMPOSE upon them. The only senior-restricted communities he supports are assisted living centers. Places like TV, Sun City, etc. would be OUTLAWED in Blechman's ideal world.

I am sorry you are unhappy with the requirements of TV, either in theory or in practice. Given the current economy I understand that, if you are an unhappy TV resident, you may be unable to sell your residence without taking an unsustainable loss. I hope that the economy improves to where you can sell and move to a place more to your liking. Maybe Blechman can give you some assistance.
Actually it isn't hard to sell properties here and I think that what I understand about JLHart's situation is that he or she lives here with Mother.

And...it is my opinion that a good deal of the discontent read on these pages stems from the surprise some people have to find that the seniors who live here are overwhelmingly political conservatives.
