[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what you’re missing is that it’s not an ‘or’ proposition for some people with second homes? We are based in Tribeca, have a second home in the Hamptons, and we use it a ton. Move out there for the whole summer, use it at least once a month during the year, spend a week there in the winter while kids are on break. It’s wonderful for us to not have to pack anything, to have a spot to host friends and family, and that ease can’t be duplicated by a rental.

We have also taken 6 international trips this year (some for long weekends, some for a week) and a few domestic. It’s just not always a situation where you do trips or go to some musty cottage. [/quote]

+1 This is exactly what many posters don't understand. It's not either or - we have a nice primary home, a nice beach house, and take multiple international and domestic vacations to other places.[/quote]

They get it, they’re just coping. It’s a defense mechanism for their fragile self esteem. Everyone with second homes can afford to take the best and frequent vacations too. And we all know renting creepy Airbnbs and staying in hotels is for the birds. Nothing compares to sleeping in your own beds, traveling on your own timeline, and building roots, memories and relationships in a specific place. The folks who post about preferring to be a transient in hotels sound like loners with no kids.[/quote]

This forum is full of broke misanthropes.[/quote]
