Gracie, as you know, I rent. I still have a very vested interest in this community.

1. It's my home.
2. Like the homeowners, I could get twice the place if I chose to rent outside of TV. I chose the lifestyle.
3. My rent pays the amenity fees.

I believe the Morses are very astute businessmen and I don't begrudge them their wealth. I don't particularly admire them. Some of their practices are downright underhanded and some, to me, obscene. I can and do appreciate the concept of TV and the work and risks that went into making and maintaining it. I'm not grateful to them. I don't owe them anything. I pay my money to live here and to enjoy everything TV has to offer.

It is your right to admire them but to imply that those who don't own here are not as vested is not right nor fair. Even seasonal renters pay a hefty price to come here year after year. If it is not kept up, if outsiders do abuse their visiting privileges, it affects them as well. I can see asking if those posting are residents of outlying areas of TV because they might have a different agenda, but those who are staying in TV whether owning or renting have a vested interest in making sure TV is not abused.

As I said, using our facilities without the right to do so is wrong. I still see no harm in using the cart paths -- there just aren't that many folks that come from Stonecrest and Spruce Creek to make a difference. I do ask that they respect our home and not litter, not drive drunk, not be too loud, stay on the paths and off the grass and please don't pick the roses.
