This is a historical comment, not a "P" one.

This entire dialogue does not sound very friendly to me......

No matter where we end up, I still believe it is a free country.

Again, if people have their own inground pools, why would they want to swim in TV's pools? They also have their own golf courses and their own rec centers. Apparently they enjoy a smaller population base and the peace and quiet as another mentioned. Different strokes for different folks.

Traffic congestion I do understand.

If it bothered me, I'd live where there is no traffic.

The way TV is set up, there is a lot of traffic on those interior main roads where all the stores and restaurants are. The back streets in the neighborhoods are fine.

I would bet that after awhile of living in TV, people discover short cuts around "town" just as we knew which way to avoid our "leaf peepers" when they'd flock up here every October.......after 911 it tapered off, but that's also when a lot of them fled the metro areas for Vermont, perceiving it as safe.........ha. It still is relatively safe.......and the drug lords are on the run.....out of town. Be careful you don't scare away all of your potential home buyers. Not talking to you Golf View.

All of the adverts we get claim that TV is the Friendliest Town....

I still believe that it is......but it just takes a few to upset the apple cart.

Some of this is confusing to me, especially what's highlighted. Would you invite people to park in your driveway if it meant making it more difficult for you to get out of your garage? It's not a case of living somewhere where there is less traffic. It's a case of preventing traffic overload where you already live.
