Just remember that many of them are too cowardly to ever make even the slightest change in their boring, hum-drum lives in which "routine" is the last hideout of the cowardly and the boring.

One of the best things about TV is that generally, the people are far more adventuresome than people the same age where we lived before. And man, are the adventuresome ones enjoying life to the fullest, while "giving back"--joyfully-- in hundreds of volunteer organizations, etc.

When the cowards try to talk you out of moving/buying in TV, just tell them, "Well 85,000 people can't all be wrong."

That simply means that your friends, family and neighbors like you a lot and do not want you to move. Consider it a compliment.
