I apologize NJblue,

Sometimes topics here can branch out a bit. Some might call it hijacking. I just call it a little sideways discussion. It happens.

But back to your question.

I know exactly what you mean. Our plan is to eventually buy a patio villa to use as a second home but not as a rental. We live about a thousand miles away and want to be able to just pick up and go whenever we can. (Well, once we have saved up enough money for gas.)

But I would like to have lots of year-round neighbors in TV. (I know that makes me sound a bit like a twit because I want a neighborhood even though I can't be there all the time.) I have concerns about ending up in a neighborhood that is heavy in rentals. I just like a neighborhood feel.

There is a thread on here somewhere about social life in TV. I will do a search and if I find it I will link it in here for you. It really does all boil down to finding your own interests. But I still want people around in my neighborhood. Even if it's just to wave to or to share a potluck with once in awhile.

Now, I will go see if I can find the social life thread for you.

Boomer
