People leave for as many reasons as there are people. Quite a few of my friends have left. All had different reasons...for some the summers were too hot and they moved as a group to NC. Some found they got homesick and wanted to go back home. Many found they wanted a smaller gated community or a cheaper gated community. Some just got bored and moved to the big cities on the coasts. I once thought I would be a full timer but I am so loving my hometown with all my friends, a college. Lake Erie, beautiful people that I am having second thoughts. I think being a snowbird would be perfect for us. One thing I know is I find wonderful people everywhere I go...
