I think mostly happy, well adjusted people move to TV because they like the activities, the people of their age and interests, and the beauty. If they were not happy before, I fear they are not likely to be happy here. The evironment of TV is condusive to an active, healthy, entertaining lifestyle, but not everyone will avail themselves of those benefits. I guess I would say that is a good thing as there is only room for about 110,000 residents more or less, and there is not room for all the people who live in this world.
Good post, Ed! And how very true.
