Thank you, Gracie. I have racked my brain trying to understand and make sense of this. That is where my frustration comes from. Just not understanding and not knowing the answers to why. My husband and I are blessed. We don't depend solely on a golf cart for transportation. Going to the businesses by cart was a pleasure and a novelty, not a necessity. I do personally know people who don't have cars.
Ironically, two of my friends don't own cars because they come from The Bronx and New York City and never had need of a car. Myself and another woman help one of the women when the need arises that she has to go somewhere outside TV for doctor's appointments and whatnot. The other woman rents a car and has friends she rides with to recreational/social activities outside the bubble.
I have another friend whose grown daughter is handicapped but proudly works at Walmart. She was able to drive herself in a golf cart to and from work and was proud of her independence. I now know of Dr. Boogie's wife's situation and feel badly for them both.
I know other people who don't have cars and thankfully, wonderfully and unbelievable; they've all managed with the help of friends throughout the years to survive. We'll all survive this if the wall isn't removed. It won't be the worst thing to happen to these wonderful people I've gotten to know and grown to love over the past four years we've proudly been owners of a house in TV.
I have always been impressed and proud to explain how things operated in TV. I've studied the history and been amazed at how the free market system has worked for this family and how the vision and hardwork of a few has benefited and changed the lives of so many.
I think that is why this is so...hurtful...I don't know if that is the right word. Disappointing may be a better word. But it does sting. I know there are people who it impacts a lot worse than my circle of friends. But I'll tell you this. I know the character and the caliber of the people here and I don't think they will let anyone who needs a ride walk nor anyone who needs to eat go hungry.
