Well, I was really kinda kidding. I know rich celebrities have privacy issues and access to many things the middle class can only dream of.

But in my naive, rose-colored glasses view, I do think that TV residents can be just as happy as any celebrity, no matter how rich.

Of course this would apply to people living anywhere, not just TV, as long as they're around people they like and doing things they enjoy. And what better place for that than TV!

On that, I agree 100%!

Likely, in general.....even more happy.

I doubt that someone who is used to having others do their shopping, etc. could ever be as happy as I am.......jumping on my golf cart and going to the store for a gallon of milk.

I don't believe it for a second. Just to start with, how in the world could adequate security ever be provided?

Wonder what the bond will be on that spread?

If the house is on two lots does the owner have to pay two amenities fees?

Do not know about Jay Leno. Former University of Michigan football coach now at ASU has a home here. Also a police officer who made nationwide news for months and months is also living here. Been told a few people also live her that do not want their names let out. Sent her to sort of blend in, and never having to leave the campus ,if you know what I mean.

You mean Rich Rod, the former UM coach?
Who is the police officer who made national headlines? Perhaps Mark Furhman who turned 61 this year and would be of retirement age?

From what I've seen of Leno, he's not one of those guys that needs too much security... He parked his cars in a museum near my house in Sylmar, CA and we used to see him driving them around town, windows down, all open, riding north on the 405 fwy waving at the tons of people staring at him. Always with a big smile on his face and really enjoying the people who were enjoying seeing his car and him. Seems like a great guy, I hope that he does move here.

As I understand it, his wife is very private though.

I doubt she would like it here.

Why not? There are many influential residents here who choose to live a private life somewhere.

Not far from TV is a private development in Ocala which is strictly private for pilots where one can park their plane next to your home. Also has a good sized runway. John Travolta has a home there, for one well-known celebrity.

Also, Nancy Lopez also has a home here in TV. Their privacy is respected by the residents.

When he does move here and you can tell me where, let me know. I would like to drive by some morning and hope to get a picture of him cutting the lawn.

I hope he leaves us in better shape than the last two colleges he has left. He can Put the kiss of death on anything he touches. I know some Michigan alumni would like to have a little chat with him it would not be very pleasant for him
