Agree with sdr. We live various places much of the year, but will never give up our San Diego properties, especially with most of our family and friends being in CA. Even HI, where we spend some of the year, can get old. Beaches, golf and all it offers are amazing, but variety is more interesting.
You never know what life may bring over time, so, imo, keeping property here is a smart move on many levels. Many friends do the same.
You should have no problem renting out your home in PL, should you choose to do so.
