I did sense you were being compassionate and I realized you saw that it
sounds like they're living in a prison, which I think that type of "living" is, also. The bottom line for me was that others were chiming in in support of that kind of thinking without actual experience of living and owning a home here.
I was responding to the impression of that prison-like existence that is conveyed and supported with more comments to that effect, to newcomers and newbies or those considering coming here. There is a lot of negative,
unfounded stereotyping of this beautiful place which is the best place many of us have ever lived in.
I apologize if my post seemed too directed at you because it wasn't intended to be.
