The reason I ask is with all the major problems,it would seem to the outsider that the cons out weight the pros.

I've seen the house prices skyrocket along the Texas Coastal Bend where my beachhouse is.They started really jumping about 6 years ago when the influx of folks from Ca started relocating/retiring there.

They all commented that they were getting 2-3 times the size house for a fraction of what they sold their house in Ca for.Bigger better house with big bucks in the bank for retirement.

Of course the local people wanting to get a second home there are having a difficult time with the increases.
