Certainly not to a crisis stage, but I very seriously doubt that as the population increases, the incidents will decrease. It will only happen more and more. I would personally--and yes, I know it is not the popular opinion--like to see a more visable security/police/anybody in the villages who has more authority to do something/anything when the is a problem that needs to be addressed. Anything from cart speeders on the MMpathways, to underage drivers, to people from outside areas who utilize our pools, pickleball courts, etc. on a daily basis. I know a lot of people will take exception to my statement, but TV is no longer the friendliest HOMETOWN. It is a wonderful place and I am happy to be here, but it is no longer a small hometown of 20,000 people. The area where I came from is a very large metropolitan area, but the city itself has a much smaller population than TV does now. That area has a very, very large police force that stays busy.
Do I think we are anywhere near all this now?? Will I stand on the corner with a sign that TV is a wil, wicked place?? Of course not, but we all need to think about how to maintain this wonderful place we now live in, and not pretend that it cannot or will not change, As always, this is just my personal opinion. I am sure many of you will totally disagree with me and that is ok. You have your own personal opinion also.
I agree with you 100 per cent
