Well, I certainly hope to be here 10 years from now and would not look forward to deterioration every year from now until then.
As to the amenities, that is one of my concerns. The master plan called for amenities sized according to the TV footprint and its corresponding population that was in existence many years ago when the land was purchased. That maximum population is now changing. Unless
all amenities are increased accordingly, their availability will be continually decreasing.
When you say it is wise to plan for the millions of boomers, you certainly don't think that TV needs to accomodate all of them. At some point, any community, no matter how great it may be when it was originally planned will be negatively impacted by a population that exceeds it original planning. I have been here 5 years and in those 5 years I have seen the impact of the growth in terms of traffic congestion and other infrastructure impacts during the snowbird season. Yet, this is all within the current planning; add even more residents to this with additional property acquisition and things will only get worse.
