[quote=Anonymous]I guess I need to make myself more clear. I am the only poster on this thread who has actually had the experience of LIVING through the winter in a very Rehobeth-like beach town, and it is absolutely desolate AF. It is different from going for a weekend, even if it’s every weekend, in the winter while also having a house elsewhere.  When it’s your only house, it gets old very quick.

Recent example: my brother and his wife (in their late 50s) moved back to our hometown a couple of years ago from the big city (not DC) thinking it would be a refreshing change and desiring to spend more time around my mother since she is getting older. They lasted two winters before going bonkers and moving back to the city.  Thank God they were smart enough to rent and not buy.  They quickly discovered there was literally nothing to do in the winter.  Every house on the block but theirs empty, for example.  Sure, a couple of places open year round, but are you going to go to the same two or three places every friggin’ Friday night and hob knob with the same five hicks and old fogies?  Strolling on the beach?  Nope.  Too cold and windy.  Looking at the beach from the warmth of your living room?  Sure, if you can afford $3 million or more.  Otherwise you’re looking at nothing but empty streets.

It’s the definition of a desolate existence.  You all are romanticizing it way too much.
