Still wondering why some villages have the house and many do not.

Maybe habitat can build some.

Riding on quiet motorcycles or cycles would be MUCH better for seeing and being really in the moment of sensing problems and finding solutions for TV Land. Some vehicles would still be needed to back up the 2 wheel patrols of course. I am just saying that to accomplish their goals, they need to adjust their system big-time. As currently configured, they seem inept and only for show - they could be so much more!

Will the day ever come when people take the time to educate themselves on a topic before making a complaint?

Thank you for a comment that makes sense!

The circles in TV are too small for them to be safe because the access roads into the circles are too close together. We won't talk about that no one seems to know how to navigate them but that's another story that has been beaten to death.
