But everyone I think for the most part hangs their hat at the place they have put love into and had joy and experiences in, no matter what the palce is made of, what it is called, what the size of the yard is, where the location is, or what their neighbors age or abilities are. Sometimes these discussions get away from kindness toward others and I just do not see the purpose in doing so. There are so many ways to express opinion and not be condescending to others or make people feel badly about their choices. Opinion is great, everyone is entitled to share, but sensitivity is important too. Just sayin....

This thread has been a little uncomfortable for me and we haven't moved down there yet. Just because we are anonymous doesn't mean we can say anything. But I just want to say that you expressed my feelings perfectly. Thanks.
