Nowhere else in TV does the developer 'invite' you to take a cart onto private property.

The fact that people did (not the developer) basically create a path for these many years that lead to 'off campus' facilities does not in any way mean it was meant to be that way forever.

Yes I can greatly sympathize with those that built their agenda around this access but there are many other examples around TV to look at:

When Sumter Place was built with 3 stories instead of 2 people bitched. Although Sumter Place is not owned by TV.

When lands that were once vacant or had buffalo on them were developed and neighbors lost their privacy in their backyards they bitched.

People along 466a that back up to the now occupied by cows farmland are bitching at the possible sale of that land that may lead to further homes in their current quiet back yards.

The point is you can only control what is known. If you buy a home next to current vacant land you may not have it that way forever. If you take a cart path on locations that they are not supposed to be on but do it anyway don't expect that condition to last forever.

I think it would be different if there was something in writing that granted easement to these properties but this is just something that developed over time and times change.

Go ahead and call me the bad guy if you wish. I have empathy for you and feel where you are coming from but...

Good points, Russ!
