That is a very real problem here in NJ; people realize they are just renting the homes from the teachers’ unions (75% of our high taxes go there), and young people want none of it. Combined with the complete collapse of the nuclear family and birthrate, who needs them? The trend here is to renovate existing single-family homes into multi-family or rooming houses for childless adults (single or cohabitating, rarely married).
Well hey, I sold my property in Duchess county, NY, an IBM community, and am very happy to be in the Catskill mountains. At least, here in the Catskills, I have control over my own life.
If they bring the nightmare here I’ll get out of this country all together, or maybe go to Kentucky. The guy on this thread who said he wanted to be with people who think like him, had a good point.
