Excellent points, Trish.

Another point to consider is that having the best and most amenities can be a double-edged sword. Of course more people want to live there! One could move to a community with fewer amenities and might not face overcrowding-- but they wouldn't have restaurants on site (as an option), free live music any ole night they choose, as many golf courses to play, as many sports, art classes, clubs, etc. Nor could businesses here thrive and stay viable if we were all able, as we might like, to close the door behind us.

So yes, there's a price to pay for having the best and most amenities. I know I can't shut the door behind me and keep TV the size it was when I purchased here. So the question is, are the beauty, the wonderful friendships, the cart paths and ample amenities worth the seasonal crowding. For me, the answer is a resounding yes. But it's a question all of us can answer only for ourselves.

Your right, PT....you brought up very valid points.

The season does bring joy to me, though, friends return!
