[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]

Yep. The second home is just that---a second home. It's not a substitute for vacations.[/quote]

You need to have time to spend in more than one home, plus go on vacations.  It’s definitely something plausible for people who work remote or don’t have to work at all and also do not have school aged kids..   It’s a stupid idea for people who have to work in person, have limited time off and have kids not only doing school but also enrolled in various activities/sports (many of which cannibalize summertime break).[/quote]
