I'd say that without Gary's involvement, Harold would have had his third bankruptcy trying to make his dream come true. At the same time, I'm not convinced that he would have been happy with all that has taken place in the past ten years. His dream, from what I've been told by folks who knew him, was a community where everyone knew everyone, where all could partake of the recreational facilities, etc. I think he would have been very proud of some aspects of TV and saddened by others (especially the chasm that seems to have developed for north and south of 466).
