Exactly. I totally agree that people have different preferences. That’s why I don’t get people who live north of 44 feel the need to opine on their dislike of south of 44. We purposely chose south because of the outdoor options and lack of congestion. We looked at resales in the north but it didn’t suit our needs. We hate box stores and avoid them when possible but that doesn’t mean we criticize those that frequent them.
