As far as I know, there is a choice between vinyl and CBS in many of the home styles. In general, CBS costs more than vinyl on the same floorplan. Patio villas, ranches and some of the Courtyard villas and some Designers are vinyl. The Savannah villas, other designers and premiers are CBS.
As far as the ceilings go, never having had a house with popcorn ceilings before, I had no idea they went out with the 70's. I don't mind them at all, although the thought did cross my mind that if they need repair it could prove difficult to hide any work.
I don't know anyone who bought in TV without doing a reasonable amount of analysis. They are not buying a bobble-head Mickey to put on their shelf at home, so I think your insinuation that we (the folks who've already shelled out lots of money to own in TV) did so while we were in some euphoric "Disney state of mind" is inappropriate to say the least.
I bought into the lifestyle, and knew all along that I could get a house somewhere else for less (or somewhere else for more). Maybe I did pay some premium for getting a house in TV over another location in Central FL. I certainly could have bought something in the woods near Oklawaha for less. And on the beach in Naples? Probably would have cost a nickle or two more. But I did so happily, as I don't know of anywhere else like TV. Popcorn ceilings and vinyl siding aside, isn't real estate all about Location, Location, Location?
Maybe you'd be happier in another retirement community where you didn't feel like you are being ripped off?
