Many people don't have the means to come down for several "Lifestyle Visits" or have a season of leisure to rent before buying. Most people I have met all agree that you have to settle your ties and debts before moving here. There are some that maintain lives here and afar, but many homestead.
I suspect if people had unlimited resources and were not happy here, they would find another place to suit them.
Some people, I agree, are in the business of misery -- if not for misery, they would be terribly miserable.
There are a lot of frogs here that don't have the means or energy to find another pond.

I agree with you. I think far too many people get to the point where the northern winters are just too much to handle and they hear about TV and come down and fall hopelessly in love with what they see. They buy on a whim and find out later t that TV is not for them, and then it is too late. The cost of homes in the Northeast is astronomical compared to Florida and they find they are stuck.
