At our time of life, it's good to be part of a community.
Barefoot: I addressed a similar thread but did not want to appear controversial so I deleted it. As part of that post I also pointed to the fact that the problem associated with too many rentals is the loss of community.

Like many people I moved my family often for job. We pick a nice neighborhood and it always had mostly other people on the move (transient neighborhoods.

Many of my friends never left my home town and they stayed close , dare I say as extended family. I did miss that because my boyhood friends were the best friends I ever had.
