I also think another factor is that everyone here is on permanent vacation while I am still working full-time (remotely). It's a mindset that I have nothing in common with and I'm not even sure I ever will.

The villages is an amazing place but I am increasingly thinking it's not really for me.

I know I am probably an outlier here.
Things are evolving in the Middleton area is more age diverse and you feel it in the nearby business. Probably more so once Middleton and Eastport businesses come on line.
