Was talking to a friend of a friend the other day. He's selling his home and moving to another retirement community close to here. I thought that was kind of odd and asked him why. Here's his story:
He's into animal rescue (dachshunds). He has three of his own and frequently has six or more in his home at any time. A friend of his also in the same organization was reported by a new neighbor for having more than two dogs and was given two weeks to either find a new home for the dogs or for herself. That was his breaking point. Rather than take a chance of being forced to move or stop doing something he loved, he opted to move. He doesn't sound too unhappy about having to move.
So, some sell their house to upgrade or downgrade but are staying in TV. Some leave for health issues (I'm including the need to be closer to family since that's a mental thing). Some leave because they're unhappy here but I think those are few and far between. Some leave because of financial setbacks. And then there are reasons that make you scratch your head (like being upset that someone might report you for breaking the rules).
