Economically its an economical boon to the area
Psychologically it is a downer for everyone where it seems to be elbow to elbow people everywhere one travels.
Realistically its Florida and places like Florida get crowded all for the same reason. Its why rich people find secluded hide-a -ways.
for the rest of us we have to grin and bear it and be polite because it isn't anyone's fault and everyone has a right to be here.  |
You are probably right Rubi, you usually are. However I feel like the wealthy individuals you describe are the worse off for it. I have often thought that it is kind of a shame that Gary Morse, having built a community that is heaven on earth to so many people, feels he can't actually participate in it. I don't care how much money you have, I cannot imagine keeping yourself secluded is half as much fun as going to the squares, partaking in happy hour, having a great meal with friends and neighbors, and getting up the next day to play golf, swim, play pickleball, and go to the squares to start the crazy cycle all over again. I guess I would make a very miserable billionaire, but my kids would be happy!
