Everyone has their own preferences but I don't think I could ever get used to living full time on the tiny TV lots. Our home is on what TV calls an oversized lot and we have privacy but it's still really small.
I'll be heading north soon and I look forward to firing up the pickup truck and chain saw and getting to work. I get a kick out of watching the wildlife such as deer and an occasional bear from my rear deck. At night you have to be careful of skunks and raccoons. Perhaps the time will come when I no longer want to do the work but not just yet.
I worked for many years in New York City and had a really long commute but it was like therapy to go out and dig in the dirt and I have never minded doing it.
Snow removal is a different story. Hate it. Even with a big snowblower I hate clearing the driveway and walkways.
I really do like TV, although the last couple of winters are colder than I expected, but I also like the openness of our northern home.
