I AGREE.
A possibility as to why there are so many new homes on the market is that people get used to their ways and habits back at "home" wherever that may be. They may miss the "familiar".
These may be the same "kids" that got homesick at summer camp......
Up in New England (I'm not talking cities like Boston) it takes a very very long time to fit in to a community of native New Englanders whose roots go deep for generations............we found that out when we arrived, but were accepted and slowly made wonderful friendships that lasted through the 44 years........people up here are not as gregarious as perhaps in other locales........but their hearts are in the right place.
Craftsmen, artists, writers, etc.... all solitary folks, gravitate to New England. It seems more gregarious sorts gravitate to TV.
Not everyone wants to be busy 24/7. Not everyone needs company 24/7.
It is wonderful that so many activities are AVAILABLE as we noticed in the Daily Sun each day.............but if one was not overextended back "home", they surely will not want to be overextended in TV.
The introverted types might be artists and like to paint alone on their lanai.........or write the great American novel. They also might love when their adult children and grandchildren visit.........whereas those who never had children, couldn't care less about that aspect of living in a wonderful sunny climate or treating the children to Disney World.
Too bad it's such a long drive away..........
Family oriented people will miss their family.
No doubt about it.
Those who love the town squares for the dancing and socializing will have that as their focal point...........others couldn't care less.
Different strokes for different folks. It's what makes the world go round.
