[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cape Cod and the Islands. Many DMV people. American runs daily flights in summer from DCA to Hyannis. My flight up was full. Of course flights to the islands as well.

I have a couple of NY friends who have soured on the Hamptons. One is selling their house. [/quote]

I had no idea you could fly directly to the cape.  Learn something new every day.

Why have they soured on the Hamptons? Too much riff-raff?[/quote]

Not PP, but we have a home in Southampton. There has always been riff-raff in the summers . . . but since the pandemic, the crowds have just been insane. It can be really hard to get around on summer weekends, which takes a lot of fun out of being there. It's fine if you're cool with just chilling by the pool at your house, but if you want to enjoy restaurants, nightlife, shopping in town, and the beaches that don't restrict parking to residents, then you're best off going in the off-season.[/quote]

This appears to be a thing all over the northeast.  We have a place in another small, upscale town in the NE (think like the Berkshires, Cape Cod, etc) but inland, and before the pandemic it was so sleepy and quiet. since then, you cannot go out to dinner without dealing with hordes of people, and the roads are constantly busy and full. It's the most bizarre thing ever. Where did these people even come from, and what are they doing in all these formerly quiet and sleepy villages?[/quote]
They are the millennials who cant afford houses, at least not like those they grew up in, so have decided to be lifetime renters in the city and escape to some of these places in the summer. [/quote]

When will Gen X and Boomers stop using millennial for anyone who is younger than themselves doing things that are different from the things they do? [/quote]

I'm pretty sure that post is referring to ... millenials. So, stop talking. [/quote]
