Freezing cold (esp. compared to DC) and not a lot going on. They now spend winters someplace warmer. As someone who grew up on the South Shore, there is definitely a little stigma for folks who live on the Cape year-round. Lots of shops and restaurants close, so consider that. If you DO move, I'd stay close in Falmouth/Sandwich. But honestly, I might consider living somewhere nearby and over the bridge, like Westport/Marion/Little Compton/Duxbury/Hingham, etc. especially if you have kids that are school-age.

This says it all:

Not sure anyone can trust someone who uses a tiktok for a reference.
