[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont get people who want to move away from friends and community they spent 18+ years building unless its totally unaffordable. When my kids are grown ill get to garden more, spend more time with the friends i made and enjoy my neighborhood more.  [/quote]

That community broke down after our kids went to college.  Some friendships apparently were based on common children’s activities and when those were gone, the relationships fizzled.  Some divorces caused a decline- the women, who I was closest to, moved away. I lost two lifelong friendships to diabetes in the past few years. One got it when we were in HS together and the other got at 50 (Type 1). I miss them both.  Others have already moved to retirement areas.  The neighborhood has flipped over and they’re little left of what we thought we were building.

There really isn’t much of a community left.

So many of our friends have relocated, and the locals are too insular, cliquey, closed, and to themselves - they really only want to spend time amongst themselves.  We have met countless nice people here over the years, and 90% of them leave. We are all still in touch, and they are all enjoying their new chosen spots immensely.   I think this is what PPs are trying to state, while certain PPs are trying to deflect and deny.  [/quote]
