The friend is fictitious at the moment. I just wanted to have a single person have the same rights as marrieds, to bring someone who lives outside TV and within the 50 mile radius, to a special event, that married people already have the rights to. People who say "dems the rules", and "where does it stop" are going off on a tangent. IMHO

The single popular is being somewhat affected as the rule is saying in effect, "if you want to meet someone and take them to a event, you must meet a single person inside TV who is a resident, and and/or, a guest pass if they are renting or live with them.

A simple request for singles to have the same rights as marrieds, as we all pay the same amenity fees. By contrast, I am not asking married people to pay twice the amenity fee, because they use them, twice a much. I am also not saying that all people should obtain extra passes for their friends, who may live inside the 50 mile radius but outside TV. We all have paid for the priviledge of this elegant lifestyle.

I have to admit, I am getting amused by some of the responses especially from those that are not effected by this form of bias against the single population. Those who are not affected have a TV is perfect as it is, and if you don't like the rule, move to another location. I find this type of view to be offputting.

Several of us who have been on this forum for several years have always stated, "TV may not be perfect but is as close as you are going to get".

No one and nothing in life is perfect, but one can strive to get one's position in life, as close as possible to perfection. Demanding perfection is something that will make a person sick.

Off my soapbox.

BTW - I am talking about a small percentage of single people and not all, of the populace.

This rule about excluding people who live in Lake, Marian, or Sumter Counties was not in place when I moved to TV in 2000. It was added about a decade ago, as I recall, because of residents with friends or family in the area.

To people who say that you knew the rules when you moved here, I say that is not necessarily true since those rules can and are changed periodically by the developer.

A good example of this was during the 'for sale sign' debacle in 2012 when residents, who previously were allowed signs were now banned from having signs in their yards, even though their deed restriction (some signed years ago) said that signs are permitted.

Bottom line is the developer, who writes the deed restrictions, can and does change them.
