Sort of an odd statement. That's like saying that "if you like living in Ocala why would you drive to Leesburg for anything?" Maybe there's a store there that sells something I'd like, or there's a resturant I'd like to eat at. Most people don't spend all their lives every single day in the same place.
Also, you're only "missing out" if you want to be involved in all the different groups, clubs & activities. If that isn't you're thing, then you're not missing out at all. The only thing we were interested in when we chose Stonecrest over TV were the pools. We're not golfers or "group" people. However, if you want to be a part of what amounts to the never-ending summer camp for adults, then TV is absolutely the place to be. There's nothing like it anyplace else. You can schedule yourself from 8am-9pm and be busy all day long if that's your thing. Stonecrest & Del Webb can't compete with that, and I don't think they pretend to. TV is TV and there's nothing else like it..If that's what you want.
And..TVs public centers are just that..public. The stores, agencies & restaurants there are all privately owned businesses that are open to the general public. The amenity fees paid by residents do not go to support private business. I would suspect that most people working in these businesses do not live in TV. Does that mean they should not shop there, or buy their insurance there, or see a doctor there?
