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. |
To your last comment, that's the big question. No one knows how many people we are talking about. In a community of 100K+, there must be a significant number of singles. Your recommendation, if approved, would make all of them eligible for an additional ID. That, to me, will be the big push back from the district. That, plus, the expectation that other groups will demand the same privilege. For example, what if there are two siblings sharing a home. They are single, and each wants an ID so they, like you, could bring a date to the pools, golf, rec centers, etc.? Will they be denied because the home already has two IDs?
Again, I am not unsympathetic to your situation. But my experience tells me your odds of success are poor. But I believe you should pursue it because it is important to you and others and see what happens.
