BEST: People, going everywhere in your golf cart, friends, golf, clubs, squares, activities, everything inside and outside the bubble, weather, kindness and generosity of most people and knowing I will never shovel snow again.

WORST: Lack of decent restaurants, a few of the people, drivers, health care, scam artists thinking they have easy marks, drunks, however most of these things can be resolved by good planning.

Best: I occasionally pinch myself to appreciate living the dream in TV.

Worst: The need to occasionally pinch myself to appreciate living the dream in TV.

Best thing - so many things to do almost every day.

Worst thing - traffic problems. This is an obvious result of population growth, so there likely are no easy solutions. The best things heavily outweigh the worst things.

Best thing - Security seems great (at least in courtyard villas with those 7 foot stone walls.
Worst things - The Lightning from early spring to the end of the hurricane season. (I may become a snow-bird because of this).
- The VA clinic need something done, needs urgent care, needs to stop thinking they are not there to help veterans

2nd Best - Low traffic south of Colony Publix
2nd Worst - only one REC Center serving food. Dangerous Drivers.

Also, we need our own airport.

The best-great neighbors, wonderful facilities and amenitities.

The worst-the 25 to 30 % of TV that feels they are entitled and have no concern for others. They don't rake the traps, they don't fix their ball marks, they are rude, drive slowly in the passing lane (illegal to do even if you are doing the speed limit) they stiff servers in restaurants and they want to say how wonderful things were back home and if florida was only more like home. Why the hell did you leave if it was so perfect. No Floridian cares how they did it back home.

TOTV is a prime example of both. You can see the best of people on main threads, especially Helping Hands. You can see the worst on comments about snowbirds and bad drivers. You can see the absolute worst in the Political Threads.
In general...I agree.


The best things are the winter weather, kindness of so many and the easy/convenient availability of golf...in a plethora of forms.


The worst things are those who harbor extreme misogyny/hatred/anger/bigotry/racism/xenophobia...and their reactions & personal attacks when you don't share those traits.


And while I have been careful to be very generic and avoid even the appearance of attacking anyone by name, I'm betting that there will be a number of members...who will immediately complain to the mods.


I'm also betting though, that the mods will realize that this post completely conforms with the rules & guidelines...and will treat it as such.

Best thing - just being there
Worst thing - not being there

I find when I go there for a visit, no matter how long I stay, I don't want to leave. And whether I do nothing or many things while there, I just love being there either way. I had a cousin who did a lot of traveling throughout her life and enjoyed it. Once she moved to TV, she found she really didn't enjoy traveling as much. Every time she did, she couldn't wait to get "home". She was so happy just being there.

Best thing: It is everything and more than advertised.
Worst thing: Medical "care".
