[quote=flyer]We never experienced any of the negative issues being discussed in CV with regard to any age group, and really don’t know anyone who has, so maybe it’s all in the eye (or mind) of the beholder, and I really don’t see the need to make rude comments wrt any particular group of people in order to try to prove a point.

People also seem to think LJ is snooty, but my wife and I grew up there, and still have lots of family and friends there, and most of them are the best, most humble people we’ve ever known.

Imo, everyone should make the choices they feel are best for themselves and their family, and let others do the same.

People choose to live their lives in different ways in different places, and I really don’t understand why anyone would care what anyone else does if they are happy with their own lives.[/quote]

here are the main issues, and they’re not that bad:

parking at the local stores
a touch of road rage here and there (probably due to the parking issues)
some of the older residents really should move on. they don’t need to be near elementary schools anymore. it’s time to cycle out. not that they should give their houses away – but it’s very clear to the buyers and the agents on both sides that the asking prices are generally too high for properties that have not been freshened up in a long time.

but the market is the market. doesn’t matter what anyone *thinks* just matters what transactions occur.

and so the patient buyer can observe for a few months and then decide what to do next.
