Tired of people grabbing all the tables hours and hours before special events.
People doing as they please with property and compliance does nothing to enforce the rules.
People coming up to you in the square demanding you get out of their chair.... when the chair was empty when you sat.

My favorite subject of how the minority count gets the attention while the 98% go merrily, happily and contented on our way.

I'm certainly not even thinking of leaving TV but I do miss my life and friends. This too shall pass.

In the two years we have lived in a CYV in Pennecamp, the house next to us has been sold twice. The first folks who lived upsized to a new home right on Pelican golf course. The second folks who are moving are moving for what I think is a pretty common reason. He loves it here, she....not so much. Then, they had the birth of their first grandchild. That tipped the scales and they are moving back north to be closer to the baby.

Always a New Yorker, ENY, I would never move back.

We have been here for six years now, and we are seriously considering leaving. Reasons for leaving:
1. TV has just gotten too big for it's own britches. The infrastructure is too small to handle the traffic.
2. Our lifestyles have changed. TV moves to a much more hastened pace. The people don't seem to be as friendly. The developer's presence is greatly felt more than ever before.
3. The last reason, I am a golfer. I am a priority member. We have eleven courses to play, and until three weeks ago, not one of them compared to a decent municipal course in Michigan. Anyone who has played off the reservation, knows what I mean. Until Golf management Solutions realizes that course conditions are more important than rounds being played, we will never have quality golf.

We will not be leaving north central Florida. We are just seeking a softer, hassle free environment.

I've heard of a few people leaving in search of better healthcare facilities, especially as we become an older population and these concerns become paramount.

Home sweet home
 
I don't think I will ever be leaving TV. While I miss family back home and my daughter and grand daughter in NC, I am making a wonderful life here with my husband and we are happy. If I were to leave ???? First would be my grand baby....I so wish i was closer. Next would be because it is getting way too busy here and not enough services to support the people, even in the summer months. Then, I worry about getting older and the health care being substandard. That really scares me. As far as the people and the beauty of the area it is far superior to anywhere else I've lived. I don't mind the got summer...beats out the colds winters and having to deal with the snow, ice and sleet any day. For us, this is where we call home now.

If I could afford to go back I might consider it.

We have had 3 neighbors leave in 2 yrs. One left because they say they aren't "joiners". They never participated in neighborhood or community get togethers and they weren't golfers. They moved to a smaller (and cheaper) 55+ community closer to Orlando. One left to return to their former state because they had never lived anywhere else and they couldn't get used to things not being just like their former community. The third left to be close to family because of health reasons. One thing I noticed was that all three always referred to their former community as "home". It seemed that none ever really saw TV as "home"

"Home" is where one wants to be buried. Any cemeteries in TV?

Home is where you grew up and lived your life and made memories.
